US biobased industrie goed voor $369 bln, 4 mln banen

A new USDA report shows that the U.S. biobased industry is generating substantial economic activity and American jobs. The USDA has also announced changes under the 2014 Farm Bill that will create additional opportunities for growth in renewable plant-based materials.
The seven major overarching sectors that represent the U.S. biobased products industry's contribution to the U.S. economy are: agriculture and forestry, biorefining, biobased chemicals, enzymes, bioplastic bottles and packaging, forest products, and textiles. Seven case studies are presented from stakeholders such as The Coca-Cola Company and PlantBottle packaging, Patagonia, and Ford (Nieuwsbericht USDA, 17 juni 2015).
