Jowat’s GROW series of sustainable packaging adhesive receives USDA Certified Bio-based Product label from the USDA BioPreferred Program. The packaging hot-melt adhesive (HMA) is developed for the North American market.
“We applaud Jowat Corporation for earning the USDA Certified Biobased Product label,” said Kate Lewis, USDA BioPreferred Program. “Products from Jowat Corporation are contributing to an ever-expanding marketplace that adds value to renewable agriculture commodities, creates jobs in rural communities, and decreases our reliance on petroleum.”
Reduce Fossil Fuel Consumption
Under this program, the adhesive’s bio-based content is verified by a third-party laboratory, with the content percentage displayed on the Biobased Product label.
“
Sustainability in packaging material is important to our customers around the world, and Jowat’s Biobased GROW adhesives are an innovative development in reducing the consumption of fossil fuel,” said Brian Sufak, regional sales manager at Jowat Corporation. “
We are proud to earn the USDA Certified Biobased Product label.”
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s bio-based content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. Utilizing renewable, bio-based materials displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. Bio-based products, through petroleum displacement, have played an increasingly important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that exacerbate global climate change.
