NatureWorks Becomes First Supplier of 100 Percent Ingeo
July 9, 2008
BLAIR, Nebraska - NatureWorks LLC is welcoming its new Chinese spunbond partner, CL Chemical Fibers, along with the signing of the fourth Ingeo Master License Agreement this year. Ingeo is an ingenious material made from plants instead of oil and CL Fiber is the first licensed Ingeo spunbond producer to offer a full range of 100 percent Ingeo fabrics.
Increasing environmental awareness worldwide has created a high demand for Ingeo fabric, a material made from plants and derived entirely from annually renewable plant resources. The product uses 65 percent less fossil fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 80-90 percent. Ingeo spunbound fabrics range in color and weight making the product applicable to all areas of business use from medical to multi-use shopping bags.
''The company is already a step ahead of its competition in understanding the message behind Ingeo™ and as the first licensed supplier of 100 percent Ingeo™ spunbond material. We look forward to a strong partnership for nonwoven innovation in Asia-Pacific and beyond," commented Robert Green for NatureWorks LLC.
