USDA certifies SYNLawn products as biobased

In Georgia, SYNLawn has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label. The product, SYNAugustine 547 Bio-Based System, is now able to display a unique USDA label that highlights its percentage of biobased content.

The following SYNLawn products have earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label:

• • SYNRenew with 47% biobased content.
• • SYNAugustine 547 with 19% biobased content.
• • SYNAugustine 547 Bio-Based System with 70% biobased content.

Third-party verification for a product’s biobased content is administered through the USDA BioPreferred Program, an initiative created by the 2002 Farm Bill (and recently reauthorized by the 2018 Farm Bill). One of the goals of the BioPreferred Program is to increase the development, purchase and use of biobased products.
