Why Soybean Wax?

Made from soybean oil, Soybean wax is a 100% natural, 100% renewable resource unlike the more common petroleum-based paraffin wax. It is clean, safe, non-toxic and biodegradable. Soybeans are a renewable and sustainable resource grown by American farmers. Soybeans have a particularly good environmental impact in that they return nitrogen to the soil. Using soybean wax in place of petroleum-based paraffin wax helps reduce the use of petroleum products. For the farmers, this is a new way to make economical use of the soybean surplus.

Around three billion bushels of soybeans are grown each year, creating a sustainable resource that’s replenished with every harvest. The soybean industry also has a major impact on the U.S. economy. The crop in the U.S. alone is valued at $27 billion. Add soybean processing and product manufacturing to its economic value, and there is no question that soybeans create American jobs and have a multiplier effect on economic growth. Using soybean wax helps American farmers and converts industrial products based on non-renewable petroleum resources to sustainable agricultural resources.
