What are the regulations relating to bioproduct production, marketing, and logistics in BC?
A. Regulations vary amoung bioproducts since there is such a diverse and large number of different bioproducts and each category of bioproducts uses different technologies, processing, feedstocks, and has different applications. For example, production and labelling of a nutraceutical product for pets (e.g. glucosamine for joint inflammation) is regulated differently than a similar product for human use. Production and use of a biofuel will be affected by local, provincial and federal regulations dealing with manufacturing and transport; land, air and water quality.
