Iulai 29, 2021 – Ua hōʻike ʻo Justin Maxson, Hope Kakauolelo no ka Hoʻomohala ʻĀina o ke Keʻena Mahiʻai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (USDA), i kēia lā, ma ka makahiki 10 o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka Lepili Huahana Biobased Certified a ka USDA, i kahi Loiloi Hopena Hoʻokele Waiwai o ka ʻOihana Huahana Biobased o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hōʻike ka hōʻike he mea hoʻoulu nui ka ʻoihana biobased i ka hana hoʻokele waiwai a me nā hana, a he hopena maikaʻi koʻikoʻi kona i ke kaiapuni.
"Nā huahana biobasedua ʻike nui ʻia no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hopena haʻahaʻa loa i ke kaiapuni i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā huahana petroleum a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole biobased," wahi a Maxson. "Ma waho aʻe o ke ʻano he mau koho ʻē aʻe i kuleana, ua hana ʻia kēia mau huahana e kahi ʻoihana kuleana no kahi kokoke i 5 miliona mau hana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa wale nō.
Wahi a ka hōʻike, i ka makahiki 2017, uaʻoihana huahana biobased:
Ua kākoʻo i 4.6 miliona mau hana ʻAmelika ma o nā haʻawina pololei, ʻaʻole pololei, a me nā haʻawina i hoʻokomo ʻia.
Ua hāʻawi i $470 biliona i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua hoʻopuka i 2.79 mau hana ma nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka hoʻokele waiwai no kēlā me kēia hana biobased.
Eia kekahi, hoʻoneʻe nā huahana biobased i kahi o 9.4 miliona barela o ka ʻaila i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a loaʻa iā lākou ka hiki ke hōʻemi i nā hoʻokuʻu kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma kahi o 12.7 miliona metric tons o CO2 equivalents i kēlā me kēia makahiki. E ʻike i nā mea koʻikoʻi a pau o ka hōʻike ma ka Economic Impact Analysis of the US Biobased Products Industry Infographic (PDF, 289 KB) a me Fact Sheet (PDF, 390 KB).
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 2011 ma lalo o ka Polokalamu BioPreferred a USDA, ua manaʻo ʻia ka Lepili Huahana Biobased Certified e hoʻoulu i ka hoʻomohala waiwai, hana i nā hana hou a hāʻawi i nā mākeke hou no nā waiwai mahiʻai. Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mana o ka hōʻoia a me ka mākeke, kōkua ka papahana i nā mea kūʻai a me nā mea hoʻohana e ʻike i nā huahana me ka ʻike biobased a hōʻoia iā lākou i kona pololei. Ma Iune 2021, aia ma ka Papa Kuhikuhi Polokalamu BioPreferred ma mua o 16,000 mau huahana i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia.
Hoʻopā ka USDA i ke ola o nā ʻAmelika āpau i kēlā me kēia lā ma nā ʻano maikaʻi he nui. Ma lalo o ka Biden-Harris Administration,USDAKe hoʻololi nei i ka ʻōnaehana meaʻai o ʻAmelika me ka nānā nui ʻana i ka hana meaʻai kūloko a me ka ʻāina, nā mākeke kūpono no nā mea hana āpau, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ke komo ʻana i ka meaʻai palekana, olakino a me ka momona ma nā kaiāulu āpau, e kūkulu ana i nā mākeke hou a me nā kahawai kālā no nā mahiʻai a me nā mea hana me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka meaʻai akamai a me nā hana ululāʻau, e hana ana i nā hoʻopukapuka mōʻaukala i nā ʻoihana a me nā hiki ikehu maʻemaʻe ma ʻAmelika kuaʻāina, a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ke kaulike ma waena o ka 'Oihana ma ka wehe ʻana i nā pale ʻōnaehana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi limahana e ʻoi aku ka hōʻike o ʻAmelika.
