The BioPreferred Program was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help showcase sustainable products and promote use of renewable agricultural resources. Inca pallets and core plugs are now eligible to affix the USDA Certified Biobased Product label showing they are Biobased products.
Litco International, Inc. announced that Inca brand molded wood pallets and molded wood core plugs have been certified by the USDA’s BioPreferred program. Litco, as a USDA BioPreferred Partner may begin labeling their products as Biobased.
“Biobased certification for Litco’s core plugs and pallets helps to demonstrate our commitment to the sustainability of our company’s offering of molded wood products,” said Gary Sharon, Vice President of Litco International. “As participants in the GSA purchasing program (GSA Contract Number: GS-025-099BA) we are proud of our ability to help the federal mandate to purchase biobased, sustainable packaging and transportation products.”
The USDA BioPreferred certification further reinforces Litco’s position as a sustainability leader in transport shipping products. Litco’s Inca molded wood pallets and core plugs were the first to be Cradle to Cradle Certified (CM) by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), for their ingredient chemistry, design and recycling capabilities
