Bio-based products are defined as those composed
in whole or large part of renewable agricultural or forestry materials.
The term "bioproducts" is short for biomass products,
and can be used to describe a chemical, material, or other product
derived from renewable biomass resources. Such products, often
made from plant, animal and marine substances, now included items
such as cleaners, lubricants, building materials, insulation,
roof coatings, fuel additives and printer cartridge toner.
AgriTone is a premium replacement toner cartridge
containing toner made with renewable bio-resources. Powered by
BioBlack™ toner, AgriTone cartridges boast the imaging industry's
highest concentration of bio-content according to an independent

resin in turn is made using various agriculturally derived materials,
which may include corn, cottonseed and soy. BioBlack™ specially-formulated
toner contains 35+% bio-content.
