A Versatile, Natural, Biodegradable, Renewable Resource!
Corn makes a difference in the products we use, but many of us don’t realize just how corn affects our daily lives. Corn components can be found in thousands of products – food, drugs, cosmetics and cleansers, just to name a few.
Beyond its food and consumer product uses, corn is replacing petroleum in many industrial applications, from plastic containers to clean-burning ethanol. Because corn products are a biodegradable and renewable natural resource, they are better for the environment than their petroleum counterparts.
From the corn syrup in your soda pop to the corn starch that makes your paper more printable – corn is all around you!
