“Our fibres are completely made of pure wood pulp,” says Horst Wörner, business manager at Kelheim Fibres. “They combine perfectly the advantages of a product from renewable raw materials with the possibilities of industrial production such as a consistent quality and tailor-made design for meeting the customer’s exact needs. A clear and correct labelling of biobased products helps to create awareness for the benefits of these articles.”
Third-party verification is administered through the USDA BioPreferred Program, an initiative created by the 2002 Farm Bill (expanded by the 2014 Farm Bill). One of the goals of the BioPreferred Program is to increase the development, purchase and use of biobased products, which in turn displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals.
“We applaud Kelheim Fibres for earning the USDA Certified Biobased Product label,” says Kate Lewis of the USDA BioPreferred Program. “Products from Kelheim Fibres are contributing to an ever-expanding marketplace that decreases our reliance on petroleum.”
