The ACDV is a non-profit organisation governed by the French law of 1901 which brings together the major economic players of agri-resources, chemistry and their downstream industries for the industrial development of bio-based chemistry in France and Europe.
Via the ACDV, these players make a joint and lasting commitment to make bio-based chemistry one of the major pillars of bio-economics.  

The ACDV has set out to encourage the development of bio-based chemical intermediates. It represents and promotes bio-based chemistry, develops common positions and arguments, identifies the major challenges facing industrialists, implements economic and technical intelligence via an international watch, and leads a strategic reflection on the initiatives to be taken according to market interest (construction, cosmetics, motoring, aeronautics, packaging, etc.).

The association has established six working groups organised in “project mode” and led by a coordinator, who is a member of the association :

 • References: definitions, standards, certification
 • Lifecycle assessments
• Technico-economic watch
 • Strategic analyses
 • Regulations and incitements 
 • Communication and coordination
