Bio-based raw materials typically have more color options than recycled raw materials, as the feedstock can be slightly more consistent. The colorability of sustainable parts is typically dependent on the sustainable raw material that is used, whether it is bio-based or recycled.  Bio-based raw materials can have more color choices than recycled raw materials because their feedstock is typically more consistent.
