Soon available: OK renewable carbon

The development of renewable carbon-based materials is a key concern for the future as it reduces reliance on virgin fossil resources.

This specification proposes an objective method, developed by the “Renewable Carbon Initiative”, for determining the renewable carbon share of raw materials, intermediates, additives and finished products, and a logo to communicate this value to the end users, whatever process is used to achieve this goal: bio-based, Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) or recycling.

This technical specification considers solely the renewable carbon share and does not give any judgement about the other sustainability aspects such as energy use, end-of-life treatment, water use, hazardous substances content, or any other green claims.
