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.

The USDA-certified coating resin has recently been applied to controlled-release fertilizers produced by Chobi Co. 

The company explained that by obtaining USDA certification, it would be able to secure credibility for its eco-friendly products and can accelerate its entry into related markets.
