In California, VGrid Energy Systems announced that it has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label.
The product, Persist Biochar, is now able to display a unique USDA label that highlights its percentage of biobased content.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks.
“With the USDA BioPreferred Program product label, VGrid can further demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our Persist biochar,” said Greg Campbell, CEO at VGrid Energy Systems. “Created from pistachio shells, a biowaste that would otherwise end up in the landfill, our premium biochar is helping homeowners, golf course superintendents, vineyard managers and many others use less water, generate long-term soil health and, ultimately, reverse climate change.”
