Mark Your Calendar: National Biobased Products Day is March 8, 2026

National Biobased Products Day is your chance to shine a spotlight on innovation and the economic benefits of the U.S. bioeconomy . It’s all about showcasing biobased products—what they’re made from, how they’re created, and the incredible benefits they bring to our homes, offices, playgrounds, construction sites, and even landscaping projects.

This isn’t just a USDA event—it’s a nationwide movement! Together, we can amplify the amazing work happening across the bioeconomy to support rural communities and grow U.S. manufacturing and jobs.
