The Borregaard product, Dustex, has earned the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label, with 100% biobased content.

Dustex is based on lignin, the natural binder of wood fibers in trees. Just as it holds wood fibers together, it also effectively binds soil particles. When applied to unpaved roads, it reduces dust and holds the aggregate, thus increasing road safety, reducing road maintenance costs and producing a better-quality road. The product can replace petrochemical alternatives for dust suppression and reduces the need for watering by up to 90%.
