Biobased products help address climate change by
- offering renewable alternatives to petroleum-based products;
- sequester carbon dioxide, lowering the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere that contribute to climate change;
- create and expand markets;
- are generally safer for people and the environment than their petroleum-based counterparts;
- and represent incredible technological advances and innovations.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label displays a product's biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. Utilizing renewable biobased materials displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. Biobased products are cost-comparative, readily available, and perform as well as or better than their conventional counterparts.
