Renewing Ingeo: End-of-Life Options
We at NatureWorks have carefully developed a vision for the disposal & recycling of products made with Ingeo. Yet when thinking about environmental impact, it's important to recognize that true evironmental advantage starts at the beginning. By design, using Ingeo results in 75% less greenhouse gases than the oil-based PET plastic it replaces, even if both end up in a landfill.
That said...Ingeo has more end-of-life options than any other plastics material.
