Baar (August 27, 2026) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is hosting a webinar, ‘From Carbon-14 testing to SGS green mark biobased certification: the path to verified biobased products’ on September 15, 2026.

As interest in products containing biobased materials continues to grow, manufacturers and brand owners are facing increasing scrutiny over how biobased content is measured, verified and communicated. At the same time, evolving standards and regulatory expectations are driving demand for transparent, scientifically robust approaches to substantiating biobased content.

During the webinar, SGS experts will discuss key developments in the biobased products market and explain how Carbon-14 testing is used to determine the percentage of biobased carbon in a product. Attendees will gain insight into the role of scientific testing in supporting the verification of biobased content across a wide range of industries. The session will also introduce SGS Biobased green mark certification, which incorporates the independent assessment of biobased content against defined program requirements. Participants will learn how certification can support the communication of biobased material content using verified data and demonstrate conformity with relevant certification criteria.

Real-world examples from multiple industry sectors will illustrate how these approaches are being applied in practice. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session, allowing attendees to discuss specific challenges and questions with SGS specialists.

This webinar is designed for R&D teams, brand owners, sustainability leaders and quality and compliance professionals involved in developing, verifying, certifying or marketing biobased products, including packaging, plastics, household cleaning products, cosmetics, apparel and textiles, construction materials, food packaging and other consumer and industrial materials.

The webinar will be offered in two sessions:
• Session 1 (Chinese): 10:00 AM (CEST)/4:00 PM (CST)/4:00 AM (EDT)
• Session 2 (English): 4:00 PM (CEST)/10:00 PM (CST)/10:00 AM (EDT)
