Product stewardship

Taking care of the entire lifecycle

Product stewardship must cover the entire value chain, from the sourcing of raw materials to the end products and their recycling or disposal. Bio-based and recyclable products, as well as innovations based on these, are an essential part of the bioeconomy. Open and transparent communication about products, supported by ecolabels, certificates and product declarations increases consumer awareness.
