Renewable Carbon Initiative Celebrates First Anniversary
In the past year, the Renewable Carbon Initiative has grown from 11 founding members to 30 member companies.
After its launch on September 20, 2020, the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) celebrated its first anniversary this fall. Beginning with 11 founding members, the RCI has grown to 30 member companies in its first year. Numerous webinars, press releases, background information, a glossary, and a comic have conveyed the renewable carbon concept. The RCI is actively working on labelling and policy analysis, and more activities will follow in the next year.
The topic of renewable carbon in chemicals and materials is increasingly becoming a focus of politics and industry. Larger companies will have to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and also the footprint of their products as part of legislative changes surrounding the European Green Deal. In this context, indirect emissions and the carbon sources of materials will play a much more crucial role.
