Naturally Advanced Technologies’ CRAiLAR Flax Earns 100 Percent USDA Certified Biobased Product Label

A well deserved award

Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. which produces and markets CRAiLAR®, a natural fiber made from flax and other bast fibers, announced it has earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label for its CRAiLAR Flax Fiber. The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label verifies that the product’s amount of renewable biobased ingredients meets or exceeds prescribed USDA standards. Biobased products are goods composed in whole or in significant part of agricultural, forestry, or marine materials. The test results for CRAiLAR Flax indicate the percentage of biobased content to be 100 percent.

“This is an important distinction for CRAiLAR Flax fiber and our partner brands who use it,” said Ken Barker, Chief Executive Officer, Naturally Advanced Technologies. “Alongside the performance attributes we have uncovered across product categories, it further shapes the story that our partners can articulate to consumers, and provides another layer of assurance that the product ingredients are shaped by sunlight, rainfall, and low-touch inputs.”
