Its flagship product, BioBlack TX, is a carbon-negative alternative to petroleum-derived carbon black that contains non-detected PAHs and carcinogens and is cost-competitive. BioBlack TX is certified by FSC®, OEKO-TEX®, USDA BioPreferred and listed on ZDHC Gateway 3.0, supporting sustainability and responsible sourcing.
