What USDA biobased means on a label

'Biobased' sounds reassuringly green, but the word alone tells you almost nothing. The number behind it is where the real story lives. Here's how to read it.

Made from plants, measured precisely

A biobased product is made from renewable plant material rather than petroleum-derived ingredients. The USDA program puts a verified percentage on exactly how much.

That percentage is the whole point, '99% biobased' and 'contains some biobased content' are wildly different claims.

Why ours is 99%

Our products are 99% USDA biobased, meaning nearly everything in them comes from a renewable source. There's very little petroleum-derived material to speak of.

Verified, not vibes

The USDA label is backed by standardized testing, so a high biobased percentage is a measured fact rather than a marketing feeling. That's the kind of claim we like to make.
