The Plant Based Products Council (PBPC) is celebrating its five-year anniversary! To learn more about PBPC’s work advocating for and building a stronger, broader, more inclusive bioeconomy, read our anniversary blog.
Why are plant-based products important?
How is the lifecycle of a plant-based product different from the lifecycle of a traditional product? Plant-based products are made from renewable resources that can be disposed of in beneficial ways while many traditional products often end up in landfills. Learn how you can add more plant-based products to your life.
The plant-based products industry brings well-paying jobs to local, rural communities and contributes to quality-of-life improvements for people and the economy. Learn more about the economic impact.
Further, the global appetite for plant-based consumer goods is increasing. A growing biobased products industry can help meet that demand while driving a circular economy that relies on renewable resources and keeps those resources in use longer.
As America faces a number of natural resource challenges, including a waste management crisis, declining soil health, and diminishing water quality, increasing the adoption of plant-based products can help be part of the solution.
