EU-Bioeconomy and HORIZON 2020 revisited:

How far have we come since ACHEMA 2012?

2

The Frankfurt ACHEMA-MANIFESTO

on the PPPs within the Bioeconomy

3

The following conclusions are summarized below which form a manifesto to be forwarded and communicated

1. Public Private Partnerships are a welcoming initiative for research and innovation in helping the development of biobased industries as a key facilitator of the broader bioeconomy.

2. They will enable the need to test and demonstrate new biobased products and processes in pilot and demonstration biorefineries facilitate cooperation in the elaboration of new norms, standards, with relevant labelling and certification as well as relevant lifecycle methods.

4

3. These measures are essential for creating a stable market framework for biobased products.

4. Successfully achieving resource efficiency and sustainability requires such new form of interaction among highly diversified partners, leading in the end to products desirable to the consumer and to European value added and jobs.

5. The partnerships must include joint work on norms, standards, labelling, certification, widely accepted lifecycle assessments.
