Government-Mandated Purchasing

USDA's Biopreferred Program

The BioPreferred Program was created by the 2002 Farm Bill and reauthorized and expanded in the 2018 Farm Bill. The Program's purpose is to spur economic development, create new jobs, and create new markets for farm commodities.

Certified Materials For Lower Carbon Footprint Products

Heartland's materials fulfill mandatory purchasing requirements for federal agencies and their contractors.

The increased development, purchase, and use of bio-based products reduce our nation's reliance on petroleum, increase the use of renewable agricultural resources, and contribute to reducing adverse environmental and health impacts.

No Retooling Costs

For Our Biopreferred Materials

Heartland supplies lower-carbon-footprint materials to help manufacturers create stronger, lighter, cheaper, and more sustainable products.

Augmenting Mined & Synthetic Additives

Unlocking The Sustainable Future We Need And Deserve

Heartland's materials replace and augment additives like talc, calcium carbonate, fiberglass, and carbon black.

We work with global brands and their suppliers to predictably reduce the carbon footprint of everyday products without any retooling costs.
