InnProBio Toolbox

In addition to the above, a stand-alone Toolbox has also been developed through InnProBio.

The Toolbox integrates several of the InnProBio resources (listed above) and aims to assist procurement and sustainability professionals interested in finding out more about bio-based products and services, and how to purchase them.

The Toolbox includes:

• Products Database: A database with information about a wide range of bio-based products that are already available on the market. Searches can be done by selecting the relevant product category
  
  
• Text blocks: Texts for inclusion into tender documents
  
  
• Roadmap of procurement instruments
  
  
• Information on product labeling and public acceptance
  
  
• Information on public procurement of innovation (PPI)
