CovationBio, Primient Covation ink partnership to support sustainable agriculture
In Delaware, CovationBio, a specialist in bio-based material solutions, and Primient Covation, a producer of 100% plant-based 1,3-propanediol (Bio-PDO), announced their participation in Primient’s Sustainable Agriculture Program and partnership with Truterra, the sustainable agriculture business of Land O’Lakes and program delivery partner.
Truterra uses cutting-edge technology to enable farmers to effectively target and measure the impact of efforts to protect the environment. The program helps to ensure that corn, the feedstock used in CovationBio’s and Primient Covation’s products, meets the highest standard of sustainable practices.
CovationBio’s and Primient Covation’s participation supports U.S. Midwestern corn growers to implement sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices on a scale equivalent to 100% of the agricultural footprint of corn used in the production of their products, Susterra PDO, Zemea PDO, and Sorona polymer.
Michael Saltzberg, CEO at CovationBio, said: “Making a product from plant-based feedstock is not enough—the feedstock needs to be grown responsibly. Our enrollment in the Primient program is a critical next step in empowering our customers and partners to better track their contributions to reducing the environmental footprint within their supply chain.”
