Aekyung Chemical's coating resin wins certification from USDA 

South Korean consumer goods company Aekyung Chemical Co. announced on Thursday that its plant-based oil coating resin has received certification from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a bio-based material.

Aekyung Chemical's coating resin received certification with a significantly high score of 57%, surpassing the bio-carbon content standard of 22% required by the USDA.
