What is the Northwest Ohio Green Products Center?
The Northwest Ohio Green Products Center is a regional and collaborative effort among several partnering organizations. At NWOGPC you can find helpful resources, technical assistance and business expertise to guide green procurement processes. The center is a resource to regional entrepreneurs or established manufacturers who currently produce, or plan to produce, green or biobased products. Northwest Ohio serves as a prime location for continued green product development and is an emerging leader in alternative energy, biobased product companies such as EcoLogic Foodservice Solutions LLC . Coupled with a unique manufacturing base and strong agricultural presence, Ohio is poised for leadership in multiple BioPreferred Categories.
Biobased products are composed, in whole or significant part, from renewable plant or animal materials rather than synthetic chemicals or hydrocarbons and petroleum-based ingredients. Biobased products range from adhesives and construction materials to paints and fuel additives.
Numerous reasons and benifits apply when considering utilizing biobased:
-Enhance energy security by reducing dependence on fossil fuels, particularly imported oil
-Stimulate jobs in rural areas and provide economic advancement through advanced technology
-Provide a cleaner environment
-Make good business sense overall.
