>Overview >Make Ingeo™ Part of Your Business
 OVERVIEW: Naturally Iowa, in partnership with NatureWorks™, is the first dairy in the world to introduce the Ingeo™ bottle. It pioneers the way for environmentally friendly packaging products.
Ingeo™ is the brand name for the PLA material. What does "PLA" mean? The acronym stands for "Polylactic Acid." This substance represents the final step in a process, engineered by Natureworks, LLC, which utilizes all-natural ingredients from corn to create a compostable material that can be utilized in a variety of applications.
Ingeo™ containers work for many types of food products, including baked goods, deli, produce, meat, food wrap, and now - dairy. Other consumer products feature Ingeo™ technology as well, such as floral wraps, blister packs, tray inserts, service ware, and others. Ingeo™ can even be used in apparel, bedding, furnishings and other products when it is made into man-made fibers also created from renewable resources.
In addition, Ingeo™ reduces dependence on foreign fossil fuels by utilizing natural ingredients. Traditional oil-based, PET plastic depends upon resources purchased in large part from other countries.
