Soy- and bio-based products are rooted in sustainable farming practices. The crops are abundant, return each season, and do not require extractive techniques like petroleum- or mineral-based products.

Using soy-based and other bio-based inputs in your products helps support the agricultural economy in Illinois and nationwide.

Utilizing soy and other bio-based inputs reduces demand for petroleum-derived products and provides momentum for the switch to a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable construction and infrastructure economy.

Agricultural Economy: Farms to Families2023-09-27T16:03:21+00:00

When you make the switch to soy- and bio-based products, you’re not just supporting the environment; you’re supporting the hardworking farmers and farming families across Illinois.

Rather than rely on petroleum-based or other chemical compounds of concern that are manufactured out-of-state or extracted overseas and have harmful health and environmental impacts, you can switch to soy and make a direct impact on Illinois’ economy.

Soybeans support nearly 23,000 jobs and provide almost $1.2 billion in wages for Illinois workers annually. When you switch to soy and get your product “It’s Sustainably Soy” Certified, you will be able to show your support for Illinois’ agricultural economy and hardworking soybean farmers.
