SANTIAGO, Chile -- NatureWorks LLC and Morgan Impresores S.A. announced that Morgan Impresores will begin distributing Ingeo biopolymer in Chile. Ingeo is an innovative plastic that is made from plants.
"The broad distribution of Ingeo to Chilean manufacturers and brand owners will give companies new opportunities to develop more sustainable packaging, foodservice items, health and beauty aids, and semi-durable products," said Rodrigo Alfaro and Augusto Cubillos, Business Managers at Biologística. "A number of these products will not only be for local consumption, but also for export to the United States, Mexico, the European Union, and China - major trading partners with Chile.
Biologística will be distributing the full Ingeo product family of resins. The company's personnel will provide technical support to converters and enable them to seamlessly transition plastics made from non renewable petroleum to Ingeo.
The agreement with Morgan Impresores S.A. signals NatureWorks' long-term commitment to supporting Latin American businesses, as they move toward greater sustainability. Ingeo biopolymer made from renewable plant material, not oil, emits 60 percent less greenhouse gas and requires 48 percent less energy to manufacture into resin as compared to such plastics as PET.
