11 eco-innovative brands showcased at Ingeo Earth Month Innovation Gallery

For the seventh consecutive year, Ingeo™ Earth Month celebrates responsible product innovation and showcases the Ingeo Innovation Gallery around the world. The 11 brands in the exhibit are representative of the hundreds of companies that have created smarter consumer products with Ingeo plastics and fibers from plants, not oil.

Providing a testament to responsible product innovation with significantly reduced environmental impact, the Innovation Gallery includes products from: Bioserie,  Earth’s Best, Electrolux, Elements Naturals, Frito-Lay, Henkel, Shiseido, Stonyfield, Walmart, and the newest consumer introductions from Danone and Target.

The Innovation Gallery will be presented at a number of events that are part of the Ingeo Earth Month project, including the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) New York Earth Day Celebration that kicks off the month-long responsible innovation celebration, April 21.

The Ingeo Gallery has then continued on to the LOHAS Minneapolis Conference, May 12 and will continue on the Boulder LOHAS Forum, June 22-24. NatureWorks, maker of Ingeo plastic from plants not oil, has also brought the Innovation Gallery to two global trade events, Interpack in Dusseldorf, May 12-18, and Chinaplas in Guangzhou, Peoples Republic of China, May 17-20.

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