“More soon.In the short term, the best solution to limit global warming is to make carbon circular, not to extract new carbon from deep underground but to use and reuse the carbon that is already on the surface of the Earth.”
We joined the RCI because since many years we fundamentally believe that one of the solutions to climate change is renewable carbon. This is why, after three years of development, we launched the OK bio-based conformity mark in 2009, which is now part of one of the three pillars of the RCI. In addition, TÜV AUSTRIA has launched its own certification scheme for recycled content, OK recycled, covering a second pillar of the RCI project.
