New Life Cycle Profile Shows U.S. Soy Delivers Environmental & Energy Benefits

Greenhouse Gases Reduction is Equivalent of
Taking 21 Million Cars Off the Road

The United Soybean Board (USB) recently released a new peer-reviewed life cycle profile that documents multiple energy and environmental benefits of U.S. soybean farming and processing. It confirms why manufacturers are increasingly using U.S. soy in green chemistry for a wide array of biobased products.

Renewable by nature, U.S. soy is used as an ingredient in a diverse group of biobased products. They range from biodiesel that fuels vehicles to the resins that go in the exterior panels of cars and farm machinery to spray foam insulation for buildings to lubricants for many uses.
