Special EventsINGEO™ EARTH MONTH APRIL 2007NaturevsFuture is once again a partner for Ingeo™ Earth month! Ingeo™ is a man-made fiber made from 100% annually renewable resources. In this case corn is put through a process to make plant sugars, fermented & then transformed into a polymer in which ingeo™ fiber is extruded. It's compostable & recyclable. It's made without using fossil fuel & doesn't omit greenhouse gases. This means it doesn't contribute to the changes in our global climate. We will have 3 new pieces made out of this great fiber. They will be on our site in the next week or so. You will also be able to buy them on our online store. So check back soon. Also check out http://www.ingeofibers.com to learn more.
