The 7th edition of Ingeo Earth Month celebrates responsible product innovation in everyday life with partnerships, forums, and discussion panels across the globe.

For the seventh year running, Ingeo Earth Month celebrates responsible product innovation and showcases the Ingeo Innovation Gallery around the world. The ten brands in the exhibit represent the hundreds that have created smarter consumer products with Ingeo plastics and fibers from plants not oil.  From the gallery, to our global program, and in our new LookBook you'll see how products made with Ingeo biopolymer are not a niche market, but changing the market of the present & future.

The Innovation Gallery will tour the globe showcasing products made with Ingeo from: Bioserie, Danone, Earth’s Best, Electrolux, Elements Naturals, Frito-Lay, Henkel, Shiseido, Stonyfield, and Walmart, joining the newest consumer introductions from Target.

NEW LOOKBOOK

The Ingeo Innovation Gallery represents a small portion of the real-market applications for the innovative biopolymer engineered by NatureWorks. A new 2011 Ingeo Earth Month edition of the Ingeo LookBook illustrates the breadth and increasingly mainstream nature of low-carbon-footprint products now available to the consumer, with new products spanning multiple industries and categories, including packaging, electronics, clothing, house wares, health and personal care, semi-durable products, and the foodservice industry.
