Abstract

Bioeconomy has been proposed as a pathway to sustainable development in many countries. However, the difficulties in defining the bioeconomy boundaries at the national level might necessitate the adoption of a sectoral approach to monitor and evaluate the success of its development. In this resolution, standards, certifications and labelling (SCL) schemes for bioeconomy-related sectors might be an essential source of data. The study evaluates the potential to use SCL schemes as a source for monitoring and evaluating sustainable bioeconomy, by analysing the sustainability aspects (chain-of-custody, environmental, economic and social themes) considered in selected SCL schemes. A variety of SCL schemes for different stages of the bioeconomy value chains were subjected to analysis on whether they consider internationally agreed aspirational principles and criteria for sustainable bioeconomy. The aspects most frequently mentioned by the requirement lists of the analysed SCL schemes were identified, along with the highlights on the least-frequently mentioned sustainability topics.

可持续生物经济背景下的生物基产品标准、认证和标签分析

生物经济已被许多国家提出作为可持续发展的途径。然而，由于在国家一级界定生物经济界限的困难，可能需要采取部门办法来监测和评价生物经济发展的成功。在这项决议中，生物经济相关部门的标准、认证和标签(SCL)计划可能是一个重要的数据来源。本研究通过分析选定的可持续发展模式计划所考虑的可持续发展方面(监管链、环境、经济和社会主题)，评估利用可持续发展模式计划作为监测和评估可持续生物经济来源的潜力。针对生物经济价值链不同阶段的各种SCL计划进行了分析，以确定它们是否考虑了国际上商定的可持续生物经济的理想原则和标准。经分析的标准及校正实验所计划的要求清单中最常提及的范畴，以及最不常提及的可持续发展范畴。
