Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) is a global membership organisation that drives the just and sustainable transition to a bio-based and circular economy. RSB’s sustainability framework is a globally-recognised, trusted and peer-reviewed foundation for supporting innovative solutions to the climate crisis, and has been collaboratively developed by its multi-stakeholder membership community – a diverse range of organisations across multiple supply chains, regions and industries that are lighting the way for a global sustainability movement. Underpinned by the RSB Principles & Criteria, RSB uses this foundation to develop projects, new knowledge and solutions that equip key decision-makers to deliver positive impacts for people and the planet.
