BIOUPTAKE - Technical and ecotoxicological analysis of biobased materials

Scope

This CWA establishes a tests methodology for the ecotoxicity characterization of bio-based substances and materials and benchmark them with the corresponding fossil-based that are currently marketed.
The characterization process described in this CWA can be applied to bio-based epoxy resins; bio-based fibers from wood and carbon materials, bio-based polymers in the form of pellets and intermediate bio-based composite formats.
