LOOKBOOK

Ingeo Building & Construction LookBook A collection of commercialized products using Ingeo™ biopolymer in the building and construction space; the LookBook highlights what is available to key decision makers who are concerned about safer or more environmentally responsible building materials.

How Ingeo Is Made Locally abundant and rapidly renewable plant GREENHOUSE GASES resources capture and sequester atmospheric carbon over their growing season, producing simple sugars via the process of photosynthesis.

LACTIC ACID INGEO INGEO B&C MATERIALS

Through a process of fermentation and separation, these harvested plant sugars are converted into lactic acid. A safe material naturally present in our bodies and in many of our foods, this lactic acid building block is transformed into Ingeo, a performance thermoplastic with physical characteristics and performance tailored for building and construction materials.

Ingeo Eco-Profile An eco-profile is a useful tool for fully determining Ingeo’s environmental impact. The profile adds up all of the inputs & outputs from our manufacturing process (like water to grow feedstocks, CO2 sequestered by plants, energy to produce fertilizers, and greenhouse gases emitted by our facilities) from the field to the polymer factory exit gate... or from the plants being grown to boxes of Ingeo leaving our plant in Blair, NE. This calculation helps us determine Ingeo’s impact on several indicators including greenhouse gas emissions and non-renewable energy use.

Comparing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Two key indicators in a product’s environmental footprint are greenhouse gases (GHG’s) and non-renewable energy use. Measuring these two impacts and comparing data between Ingeo and traditional polymers (like PET & PS), provides a good insight into how Ingeo performs. For a final, definite comparison, the tool of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) should be used. In the two charts below the latest Ingeo data is compared with the most recent industry data for European & American products as published by PlasticsEurope and APC respectively. The Ingeo data reflects work done in tandem with Thinkstep (PE INTERNATIONAL) using their GaBi LCA software and their latest LCA database following ISO 14040 & 14044 standards.
