BIOBASEDCERT Monitoring Tool (BMT)

This deliverable reports on the final version of the BIOBASEDCERT Monitoring Tool (BMT) that has been developed jointly by the BIOBASEDCERT cluster (comprised of the SUSTCERT4BIOBASED, STAR4BBS and HARMONITOR projects) to assess the robustness, comprehensiveness and effectiveness of existing voluntary sustainability certification schemes and labels (CSLs) for industrial biobased systems (where food/feed, biofuels, bioenergy, and cultural/recreation sector are excluded). BMT is structured in three levels: system level, content level and outcome level. This deliverable presents the three levels and their requirements, as well as the development process of each of them. The resulting BMT is a spreadsheet incorporating the three levels which can be found as an Annex to this deliverable. The guidance notes on using this tool are also provided in this deliverable.
