Soybeans play a huge role in Ohio business.• Soybeans are a 2.6 billion dollar
business in Ohio each year; 98% of soybean meal becomes animal feed.
• Soybeans are Ohio’s #1 export. Every other row of soybeans is exported. More than half to China.
• Ohio is #16 in the nation for beef production, and #5 in flower production.

How important are polymers to Ohio?
It’s also the #1 producer of many
things made from polymers

Current Source of Chemicals & Polymers?
Oil
While we may know that the supply of oil will affect our cars and the cost to fill our gas tanks, it also affects all the productsmade from petroleum.

The Agriculture and Chemicals and Polymer Industries are working together to provide a solution:
Bioproducts!
![Page 12: Chemistry in a Biobased Economy. Agriculture, Forestry & Food $103 billion Chemicals & Polymers $89 billion Two industries make up about 40% of the GDP](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e2d5503460f94b1c9a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why BioProducts ?The future price of oil is uncertain because of:
• Increasing Global Demand
• Uncertain Supply
• Volatile Price

Bioproducts are greener too!
They are:
• Renewable
• Carbon neutral
• Produced locally
• Biodegradable
• Lend themselves to a greener chemistry
• Have reduced toxicity
• And require less energy over their entire life
cycle.
