Ingeo biopolymer, made from renewable biobased feedstocks, is a low-carbon alternative to petrochemical-based plastics and fibers that makes the products we use every day safer and more sustainable.
Naturally Advanced Biomaterials
Ingeo's Purpose
Ingeo biopolymer is a low carbon, biobased material made from ethically sourced, annually renewable feedstocks. Its applications enable multiple circular economy pathways.
Technology Overview
Our process starts with greenhouse gas. We use plants to transform greenhouse gases into sugars we can ferment.
Applications Overview
Ingeo polymers and fibers are used to produce products designed for performance and sustainability; from compostable coffee capsules and food serviceware to biobased filament for 3D printing.
A New Class of Ingeo™ PLA Polymers
Ingeo™ Extend is NatureWorks’ newest platform of advanced PLA polymers, enabling biaxial film manufacturers to achieve up to 7x transverse direction stretch, reduce production costs on existing equipment, and accelerate compostability up to 8x faster than standard PLA.
