The BioReCer ICT Tool (BIT) – Manual

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Feedstock providers and users of biomass face the challenge of optimising processes, ensuring sustainability, and complying with regulations in the bio-based sector. One key quest is the increasing pressure for environmental performance and traceability of feedstock from its origin through the value-chain. Here, especially bio-based value chains struggle with the complexity of supply chains and data management. This is where BioReCer steps in and helps bio-based businesses, certification bodies and feedstock providers to make informed decisions that can drive sustainability and circularity. The BioReCer ICT Tool developed by the EU-funded BioReCer project is the solution to this challenge. This digital platform is designed to help industry stakeholders make informed decisions, find mapped bio-based standards and certificates, and improve sustainability. It also helps identify the most sustainable playersin a regional sector. What it does: • Gathers data, tools and insights in one place. • Helps optimise processes, ensures sustainability and circularity, and compliance with regulatory standards. • Informs on mapped standards and certificates and identifies companies with the best industry scores. • Provides a competitive advantage in the bio-based industry. This manual will help users navigate the tool and make the most of their biogenic resources.
