Why Choose a Biobased Product?

By choosing a biobased product, the consumer can be assured , in instances where certification is available, that the National and International 3rd party certification testing facilities stand behind the accuracy of the percent of biobased ingredients as stated on the label. The USDA has established the least biobased content standards for many product categories. A product must meet or exceed the least biobased content percentage in its given group to qualify for certification. Products belonging in categories for which minimum biobased content requirements have not yet been established must contain at least 25% biobased content.
