SCHUTZEN Obtains USDA-Certified Biobased Product Label

17 January 2022: Mumbai basedd Schutzen Care (P) Ltd. has obtained the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label. With this certification, the company can now use a unique USDA Label, showing biobased content percentage of SCHUTZENRESIN-X7BIO. The USDA Certified Biobased Product label indicates a product’s biobased content. Expressed as a percentage, biobased content is the ratio of non-fossil organic carbon (new organic carbon) to total organic carbon in a product.

SCHUTZEN Chemical Group is a diversified specialty chemical manufacturer with a clear focus to replace unsustainable chemistries, products & formulations across industries using our innovative patented polymer Chemistries. 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, through petroleum displacement, have played an increasingly important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that exacerbate global climate change. Biobased products are cost-comparative, readily available, and perform as well as or better than their conventional counterparts.

The increased production of renewable chemicals and biobased products contributes to the development and expansion of the U.S. bioeconomy – where society looks to agriculture for sustainable sources of fuel, energy, chemicals, and products.

The BioPreferred Program is a USDA-led initiative that assists the development and expansion of markets for biobased products. Biobased products span a diverse range of applications, such as lubricants, cleaning products, chemicals and bioplastics. More than 3,500 products have earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product label.
