Biobasiertes Produkt, das teilweise aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen besteht.

Der Bioanteil im BioBlack™ Granulat besteht aus einem Rohstoffmix und beinhaltet z.B. Mais, Soja, Baumwollsamem und andere Rohstoffe.

Der Toner wird von einem weltweitführenden Tonerhersteller in den USA produziert.

Die BioBlack™ Toner wurden durch die LGA auf Schadstoffe geprüft.

BioBlack™ toner is made using a bio-based
resin with a proprietary patent-pending toner formulation. The bio-based resin in turn is made using various agriculturally derived materials, which may include corn, cottonseed and soy. Analysis run by an ISO-17025 accredited independent laboratory using the ASTM-D6866** method show that the bio-based content of BioBlack™ toner is up to 34%, and that of the OEM (HP® 1012™, HP® 2300™, HP® 4350™, and P2015™) was 0%.

* While the ASTM-D6866 method cites a precision of +/-3%, these results indicate that the amount of bio-derived carbon in BioBlack™ toner is far greater than a competitive toner (and infinitely greater than the OEM) for the same amount of carbon in toner.
** The ASTM-D6866 method is similar to the radiocarbon dating method, which measures the amount of carbon-14, which exists in bio-based materials, but is non-existent in fossil-based materials such as petroleum.
