Testfakta Bio-based is a voluntary certification and labelling system for bio-based
products, aimed at making it easier for consumers to choose goods made from
renewable materials.
Fossil-based materials can often be replaced by bio-based alternatives. Clear and
transparent labelling call attention to, and thus help to boost demand for bio-based
alternatives and to raise the proportions of renewable raw materials in existing
goods.
The certification rests partly on the findings from technical analysis of products’
carbon-based content, quantifying the proportion of organic carbon from renewable
sources.
Testfakta Bio-based is a cooperation between Testfakta and RISE, Research
Institutes of Sweden. RISE contributes technical expertise as well as analysis and
investigation of the documentation relating to criteria. Testfakta Bio-based certifies
and labels the products to confirm their bio-based properties.
Testfakta Bio-based is a company in the Testfakta group. Testfakta engages in
independent testing and research and specialises in laboratory testing of products
for consumers and commercial users.
