The RSB Sustainable Biomass Policy Platform is a cross-sectoral membership platform that brings together industry, civil society, academia and other engaged stakeholders to navigate the complexity of the biomass policy landscape. Members will build and share knowledge, and be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of how biomass policies and incentives outside of their own sectors may impact feedstock sourcing decisions within their own.
With a focus on primary biomass feedstock, the platform is further a place to collaborate and co-create informed and effective positions – grounded in sustainability best practice – to support policy-makers to achieve consistency and ensure that the full potential of the bioeconomy is realised for both people and the planet.
RSB’s Sustainable Biomass Policy Platform is open to RSB members, who are invited to join the platform as part of the many benefits of RSB membership.
To accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and bio-based circular economy, businesses must make bold investment decisions in shifting to new feedstocks and technologies. However, the multitude of policies evolving in different sectors – such as aviation, chemicals, consumer goods and shipping – makes decision-making complex.
The Sustainable Biomass Policy Platforms provides a central place to bring together all those who are impacted by the complex policy landscape to build knowledge and expertise on matters that most impact them, while also developing white papers and positions to advance consistent best-in-class sustainability into the policy arena.
Since its launch on 28th November 2022, the RSB Sustainable Biomass Policy Platform has been conducting initial scoping activities.
This area will be updated soon.
