Sustainability Transition Assessment Rules for Bio-Based Systems (STAR4BBS)

STAR4BBS是一个为期三年的多学科、多主体协作项目，涉及7个合作伙伴、3个关联伙伴和1个关联第三方。STAR4BBS的总体目标是最大限度地发挥可持续性认证计划（SCS）和标签的潜力，以支持向可持续生物经济的成功过渡。STAR4BBS项目的核心是开发指标和新的监测系统，以评估现有的国际和欧盟SCS、B2B标签以及适用于生物原料和生物基材料和产品的相关可追溯系统的有效性和稳健性。这些信息将为支持在全球和欧盟贸易流动中实现迫切需要的计划和透明度之间的协调奠定基础。通过开发的新监测系统，现有的SCS和标签将被分析，其结果，以及对认证和未认证贸易流量以及认证和标签的影响、成本和收益的额外研究，将大大增加对这些计划有助于政策和行业可持续发展目标的潜力的了解，并将建立对计划之间差异的认识。该项目将涉及重要的利益相关者（包括计划所有者、政策制定者和工业界），以设计研究和监测系统，并从研究和分析中提出实际建议，以确保项目实现其最终目标。特别是，生物基产业增加对最有效的SCS和标签的吸收，将支持循环、气候中和、可持续生物基系统的发展，从而减缓气候变化，提高资源效率，保护和恢复生态系统、生物多样性、自然资源以及空气、水和土壤的质量

STAR4BBS is a three-year multidisciplinary and multi-actor collaborative project, involving seven partners, three associated partners and one linked third party. The overall aim of STAR4BBS is to maximize the potential of Sustainability Certification Schemes (SCS) and labels to support a successful transition to sustainable bio-based economy. At the core of the STAR4BBS project is the development of indicators and a new monitoring system for assessing the effectiveness and robustness of existing international and EU SCS, B2B labels, and related traceability systems applicable to biological feedstock and bio-based materials and products. This information will create the foundations to support achieving the much needed harmonization between schemes and transparency in global and EU trade flows. Through the developed new monitoring system, existing SCS and labels will be analyzed, and the results, as well as additional research on certified and uncertified trade flows and on the impacts and costs and benefits of certification and labels, will substantially increase understanding of the potential of these schemes to contribute to policy and industry sustainability goals and will build awareness of the differences between the schemes. The project will involve important stakeholders (including scheme owners, policy makers, and industry) in the design of research and the monitoring system and in the development of practical recommendations emerging from the research and analysis in order to ensure that the project achieves its ultimate goal. In particular, an increased uptake of the most effective SCS and labels by the bio-based industry will support the development of circular, climate-neutral, sustainable biobased systems that will mitigate climate change, increase resource efficiency, preserve and restore ecosystems, biodiversity, natural resources, and the quality of air, water and soil
