About BioReCer

BioReCer (Biological Resources Certifications Schemes) aims at assessing and complementing current certification schemes for biological resources according to the new EU sustainability goals to enhance bio-based circular systems.

This will be achieved by including new criteria that align with EU taxonomy and EU corporate due diligence regulations into guidelines for certifying biological resources’ sustainability, origin, tracking and traceability (T&T), and by ensuring applicability at EU and global scale.

By promoting the sustainability and trade of biological resources, BioReCer will increase the added value, use, as well as social acceptance of bio-based products.

Main Objectives of BioReCer

Establishment of new bio-based value chains promoting the use of biological feedstocks as secondary raw materials to replace fossil-based resources.

Increase industry and consumer acceptance of bio-based value chains, including residual feedstock and waste.

Support the transition of linear value chains to a circular bio-based economy that delivers substantial environmental and economic benefits.

BioReCer’s Three
Technological Pillars

A multi-dimensional assessment framework for an aggregated analysis of the biological feedstocks and their associated supply chains,

A BioReCer Innovation Ecosystem Living-Lab (BRIE-LL) with a multi-agent approach, testing the framework in four bio-based systems supply chain case studies,

Complementing current certification schemes including new criteria for certifying the sustainability, origin and traceability of biological resources, and ensuring applicability in the EU and globally.
