San Diego, CA. (August 26, 2015) \u2014 Malama Composites, Inc. has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label and is identified for Federal preferred purchasing for its Studio BioFoam\u00ae product. The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label verifies that the product\u2019s amount of renewable bio-based ingredients meets or exceeds levels set by USDA. Biobased products are finished or intermediate materials composed in whole or in significant part of agricultural, forestry, or marine ingredients.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Malama Composites Chairman and CEO, David Saltman said, “Studio BioFoam\u00ae represents a fundamental leap forward when it comes to environmental benefits. The label will assist us in building awareness that there is finally a bio-based alternative for stage sets, exhibits and museum displays, architectural and industrial design modeling, prosthetics and orthotics, and tool and die applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStudio BioFoam\u00ae is the only bio-based rigid urethane foam in the world to achieve this certification. \u00a0It is a zero emission material that uses vegetable polyols and water as the sole blowing agent. \u00a0 It hand sculpts beautifully and machine shapes accurately, a proof that eco-friendly products can outperform petroleum-based alternatives, said Saltman.\u201d<\/p>\n

All bio-based amount claims are verified by independent labs and monitored by the USDA. \u00a0 Consumers may feel secure in the accuracy of the bio-based amount and be empowered in making better informed purchasing decisions. “We are proud that Malama Composites, Inc. has earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label,” said Ron Buckhalt, USDA BioPreferred Program Manager. “Biobased products add value to renewable agriculture commodities, create jobs in rural communities and help our nation decrease its reliance on foreign-sourced and non-renewable\u00a0petroleum.”<\/p>\n

The certified product Studio BioFoam\u00ae is available for order on Malama Composites\u2019 online \u2018Company Store\u2019 with the following label:<\/p>\n
