“The presence here of NatureWorks LLC and its unique Ingeo™ brand signifies the growing importance for more sustainable options in the market today, a reality we are pleased to recognize matches our LOHAS credo” said Toshi Ide, founder and chairman of Lohas Business Alliance in Japan.

NatureWorks® biopolymer uses 65 percent less fossil fuels and produces 80-90 percent less greenhouse gas emissions in its production than conventional polymers. The data shows NatureWorks® biopolymer to possess one of the lowest carbon footprints of any commercially available bioplastic, making it a perfect ingredient choice for many plastic based eco-products today.
