New survey on perceived effectiveness of CSLs launched!

Certification schemes and labels (CSLs) are often used to safeguard and communicate the sustainability performance of (biobased) products to stakeholders. They are also increasingly considered as a co-regulation instrument in the European Union for the bioeconomy. But how reliable are they? The aim of this survey is to explore how robust CSLs are and what could be (major) weaknesses through an open, public consultation. Please participate and let us know your views! https://edu.nl/q7a8e.


The HARMONITOR Project, in collaboration with STAR4BBS and SUSTCERT4BIOBASED, under Horizon Europe funding, is conducting research on the perception of stakeholders concerning the effectiveness and robustness of sustainability certification schemes and labels (CSLs) for bio-based chemicals and materials. The HARMONITOR Project focuses on bio-based materials including, for example, innovative bio-based chemicals, forestry products for construction materials, and textiles. Food and energy products are excluded explicitly, although versatile upstream biomass feedstocks that can lead to both materials and energy/food are included, e.g., palm oil, wood, cotton, and wastes as feedstocks.

Deliverable 7.1 - Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation Plan

31/10/2022

Dissemination, communication and exploitation activities play a vital role within the HARMONITOR project. The project aims at an adequate and effective dissemination of its results and fluent communication of its activities at every stage during the project lifetime. Exploitation activities aim at ensuring that project results and methodologies are used by policymakers and by the certification and labels community to keep improving their certification schemes and labels (CSLs). The main dissemination and communication tools (website, blogs, social media, participation in renowned conferences, meetings, networking events and workshops, scientific publications, etc.) are listed in detail in this plan. The relationship between tools and the different target groups is explained, alongside suggested indicators for actively monitoring effectiveness.
