CINCINNATI, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-±¬ÁϹ«Éçapp/ -- . announced today that select products within its portfolio have earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label. Certified products include PFAS-Free Fiber Molded Plates, Bowls, and Platters, as well as CPLA Cutlery.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label verifies the percentage of renewable, biobased content in a product through independent, third-party testing administered by the USDA BioPreferred® Program. This certification provides customers with clear, credible assurance that these products meet rigorous federal standards for biobased content.
µþ¾±´Ç³Ò°ù±ð±ð²Ô°ä³ó´Ç¾±³¦±ð® PFAS-Free Fiber Molded Plates, Bowls, and Platters are manufactured using bagasse, a renewable byproduct of sugarcane processing. By repurposing agricultural residue rather than relying on traditional wood pulping, these products significantly reduce environmental impact while delivering the strength, functionality, and presentation required for commercial and consumer applications. The PFAS-free formulation further reinforces TrueChoicePack's commitment to safer, more responsible materials.
µþ¾±´Ç³Ò°ù±ð±ð²Ô°ä³ó´Ç¾±³¦±ð® CPLA Cutlery is made from crystallized polylactic acid (CPLA), a plant-based material derived from renewable resources and engineered to deliver enhanced heat resistance and durability. Designed for performance in foodservice, hospitality, and everyday use, the cutlery offers a reliable, compostable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, supporting both environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
With this certification, these µþ¾±´Ç³Ò°ù±ð±ð²Ô°ä³ó´Ç¾±³¦±ð® products may now display the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label, enabling buyers to quickly identify products made with verified renewable content. Biobased materials reduce dependence on non-renewable, petroleum-based inputs while offering cost-competitive performance equal to or exceeding traditional alternatives.
"Achieving the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering truly sustainable solutions that customers can rely on," said Rakesh Rathore, PhD, COO of TrueChoicePack Corp. "The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label gives retailers, foodservice operators, and consumers confidence that µþ¾±´Ç³Ò°ù±ð±ð²Ô°ä³ó´Ç¾±³¦±ð® products deliver verified environmental value without compromising quality or performance."
"We applaud TrueChoicePack Corp. for earning the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label," said Vernell Thompson, USDA BioPreferred® Program. "The label is intended to help spur economic development, create new jobs, and provide new markets for farm commodities. But the label also makes it easier for consumers and federal buyers to locate biobased products and consider planet-friendlier options during purchase decisions. By having their products become USDA Certified Biobased, TrueChoicePack Corp. joins an expanding list of businesses combating inaccurate marketing claims and the practice of greenwashing, while also contributing to a thriving bioeconomy that decreases our reliance on petroleum."
According to the latest USDA Economic Impact Report, the biobased products industry supports 4.6 million American jobs, contributes $470 billion to the U.S. economy, and generates 2.79 additional jobs in other sectors for every biobased job. Biobased products also displace approximately 9.4 million barrels of oil annually and have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 12.7 million metric tons of COâ‚‚ equivalents per year.
