NovelBaltic
NovelBaltic is an Interreg project in Baltic Sea Area, which has many goals to improve marketing and development of non-timber forest products. One of these goals is to measure quality and prove authenticity of plant-based raw materials and products. Doing so, high quality and authentic products can be separated from the poor or counterfeited ones. For this purpose, NovelBaltic platform was built.
