https://www.avient.com/idea/designing-parts-meet-sustainability-goals
When a goal is to develop a more sustainable end product, the preferred raw material can be either bio-based or recycled.
Bio-based raw materials typically have more color options than recycled raw materials, as the feedstock can be slightly more consistent.
Bio-based raw materials can have more color choices than recycled raw materials because their feedstock is typically more consistent.
