Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT)

The Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT) developed within the INNOBIOVC project aims to provide applicants that already have defined their project and the value chain in which to operate with an instrument to improve the sustainability of their project from an environmental, economic and social perspective. The SAT is based on a comparison between the innovative product and a benchmark product that is already on the market, resulting in the identification of hotspots that can be improved.  

Currently, the SAT is available for the value chains targeting the following bio-based products: 

  • Lactic acid 
  • Succinic acid 
  • Glycerol 
  • Polymers (mainly PLA) 
  • Aminoacids (mainly lysine and glutamate) 

Benefits of the SAT for the companies using it: 

  • Comprehensive Sustainability Evaluation: The SAT offers a holistic assessment of bio-based processes or products, covering environmental, social, and economic dimensions. This comprehensive evaluation provides companies with a clear understanding of their sustainability performance. 
  • Benchmarking for Improvement: By comparing against established benchmarks in the industry, the SAT helps companies identify areas for improvement and best practices. This benchmarking feature guides companies toward industry standards, allowing them to enhance their sustainability practices and identify hotspots in the process. 
  • Strategic Decision-Making: The tool provides a structured approach to decision-making through Multi-Criteria Decision Making Analysis (MCDMA). With visual representations and an overall performance score, companies can make informed and strategic decisions to improve their sustainability across the entire value chain.
