Today, more than ever, industrial companies need to justify the nature of the raw materials they use. Whether to obtain an environmental label, meet the expectations of mass retailers, comply with customer specifications or integrate a certification process, quantifying biobased content is becoming a strategic issue for :
CIRAM acts as a trusted scientific third party to help you establish, in a rigorous and recognized way, the proportion of carbon of renewable origin in your industrial products.
Discover application fieldsMany companies involved in the ecological transition and green chemistry rely on CIRAM analyses to quantify the biobased content of their products.
Our approach is based on radiocarbon analysis (carbon 14) mass spectrometry coupled to a particle gas pedal (AMS), a cutting-edge technology that enables us to accurately differentiate between carbon of fossil origin and biosourced carbon derived from recent plant or animal matter. This method is now the benchmark for certifying the renewable composition of products used in eco-design, labeling or Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) processes.
We also offer complementary isotope analyses (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) to trace the origin of raw materials and reinforce the environmental credibility of your products.
All our analyses are carried out in accordance with current international standards (ASTM D6866, EN 16640, ISO 16620...), and supplied in the form of reports that can be used in your certification procedures or CSR reporting.
