bioproduct
Living-derived material product
A bioproduct is something produced from biological sources rather than petroleum or synthetic materials—renewable feedstocks like plants, algae, or agricultural waste.
The term appears in discussions of sustainability: bioproduct plastics, bioproduct fuels.
Industries use it to signal environmental consciousness, though the actual ecological benefit varies widely.
