It was an honor last Friday to participate in the panel discussion on Packaging for a Sustainable Future at the GC Sustainable Living Symposium. GC is a fantastic partner of NatureWorks and it's always a pleasure to speak on the environmental benefits of PLA. I had the pleasure to present with Ross Baglin from Interface Polymers Ltd and Benjamin Kuo from King Yuan Fu. NatureWorks also showcased our company from corn and sugarcane all the way to end use applications like 3D printing filament and compostable food service ware. #IngeoPLA #GCChemistryForBetterLiving #3DPrinting
In the latest International Filtration News, NatureWorks' Koen Bastiaens and Chad Kamann share how companies striving to meet their carbon reduction goals are increasingly turning to low-carbon and biobased materials. 🌿 The development of plant-based options, like Ingeo™ PLA, is growing as a high-performing, sustainable solution. https://lnkd.in/gmheP5gp Moreover, the rise of melt blown equipment is revolutionizing the industry by converting biopolymers like PLA into high-performance filtration media. This is a big step toward a greener, more sustainable future! 🌍✨ INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, #IngeoPLA #sustainablenonwovens #biomaterials #filtration #plantbasedmaterials
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than HALF of greenhouse gas emissions from landfills come from wasted food. 😲 Choosing to compost your food waste can help decrease methane emissions and USING COMPOST helps soil by sequestering carbon and retaining enriching nutrients and water. 🌱 Composting your food waste and certified compostable food ware is a powerful step in mitigating climate change.

🌱 Factory Friday at Numakers: Innovating with Sustainability 🌱 As part of our commitment to sustainable manufacturing, Numakers uses Ingeo plant-based resin in our PLA and PLA+ filaments. Ingeo helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and relies on renewable resources like corn. This eco-friendly process results in high-quality filament that supports our goal of reducing plastic waste. If you're looking for high-performance 3D printing materials that align with sustainable practices, look no further than Numakers. 🌍♻️ What eco-conscious projects are you working on? Let us know in the comments! #Sustainability #3DPrinting #Ingeo #Numakers #FactoryFriday #EcoInnovation #GreenTech

You asked, we listened! One of the most-requested new materials from our summer customer survey was silk PLA and dual color materials. So we've brought you both! But we also wanted to address one of the primary concerns with silk PLA - poor strength and layer-to-layer adhesion. 3D-Fuel Silk PLA+ uses made-in-the-USA NatureWorks Ingeo PLA as its base plastic and then we use an impact modifier in our silk additive so that the finished prints are more durable than other silk filaments on the market. This and, like all of our other materials, 3D-Fuel Silk PLA+ is extruded and put directly on the spool right here in the USA. All of our Silk PLA+ material is on a Bambu Lab AMS-compatible spool, so you can rest assured that this filament will work great in your multi-color 3D printing projects. We are introducing 5 single-color and 5 dual-color options for 3D-Fuel Silk PLA+ and they're available NOW for shipping! https://lnkd.in/gpDcZDRU #3dprinting #madeinusa #3dfuel
