USDA Certified Biobased Product
What is BioPreferred?
Established by the 2002 Farm Bill (and reauthorised by the 2018 Farm Bill), the USDA BioPreferred Program aims to increase the use of renewable agricultural resources by businesses and federal agencies. It seeks to create new jobs and drive economic growth by supporting emerging industries, building a green bridge between production and consumption for sustainable development.
Biobased Product Certification: Transparent Sustainable Choices
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s biobased content—the proportion derived from renewable sources like plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. This label helps consumers identify eco-friendly products and boosts demand for renewable raw materials, gradually replacing non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. For example, a product labelled "50% biobased" means 50% of its carbon-based components come from renewable natural resources rather than finite fossil fuels.
Rediscovering Biobased Products
Biobased products are made from carbon-containing substances derived from living (or once-living) matter. Compared to petroleum-based alternatives, they are generally seen as greener options with several key advantages:
- Environmental Benefits: Using renewable resources like plants reduces CO₂ emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation.
- Safety & Health: Lower toxicity and environmental risks create safer working and living environments.
- Circular Economy: Relying on sustainable agricultural resources to build a "plant-produce-consume-recycle" green industrial chain.
Bublepik's Sustainable Practice
Take Bublepik Wrist Rest as an example. Its "50% biobased" certification signifies:
- Natural Composition: with 50% of carbon-based materials derived from biological sources.
- Environmental Commitment: Reduces dependence on fossil fuels by minimising petroleum-based ingredients.
- Skin-Friendly Material: Reduces the risk of skin sensitivity, allowing users to enjoy our products with complete freedom.
From Policy to Practice: Building a Sustainable Future
The BioPreferred Program is more than a certification system; it’s a catalyst for industrial transformation. Through market guidance and policy support, it pursues three core goals:
- Economic: Cultivating biobased industries to create new economic growth drivers.
- Environmental: Reducing carbon footprints to support global carbon neutrality goals.
- Social: Promoting healthy and safe production/consumption lifestyles. As more products like Bublepik join this initiative, we move toward a future of renewable resources and balanced development—every choice for biobased products is a tangible step toward sustainability.
