Brussels, 14 April 2026 – EuropaBio submitted feedback to the European Commission public consultation on the review of the EU Taxonomy Environmental and Climate Delegated Acts. EuropaBio’s response highlights the importance of biotechnology and biomanufacturing in supporting the EU’s sustainability and competitiveness objectives, notably through bio‑based value chains contributing to the transition to a circular economy. EuropaBio welcomes the review of the Delegated Acts as a positive step towards a more inclusive approach to feedstocks eligible under the EU Taxonomy and sustainable finance framework, including the recognition of agricultural biomass, and calls for greater clarity and consistency to help remove barriers to investment in biomanufacturing. EuropaBio also underlines the need for the EU Taxonomy framework to better distinguish biotechnological processes from conventional chemical processes, recognising their specific contribution to resource efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
