Have You Heard About Ingeo?  |
|
 I was exploring Kroger's web site and clicked on "new products". There I found Primo Water with bottles made of Ingeo natural plastic instead of petroleum based plastic. The blurb said that if all petroleum based plastic (PET) bottles were made of Ingeo natural plastic, Americans could save a billion gallons of gas per year.
Impressive, right?
I had never heard of Ingeo, so I did a Google search and discovered that it's made from corn.
I wonder why this hasn't been a major news item.
Here's the site about how Ingeo is made (and unmade, since it is much more recycleable):

2.  Xdrowninghavocx (2131) | 3 months ago |  This is great. And that's interesting to know about the gas. I have heard of another company that sells water and uses natural plastic as well. I'm glad that more and more people are getting the idea of 'going green'. I'm glad more people are participating in changing the world. But, what took so long? And there are still stubborn people out there.

| kenzie45230 (864) | 3 months ago | You're right. What took so long? You know we've had the ability to do these kinds of things for years. But there has to be a "wanna do" attitude, I guess. | |

| 5. Modestah (7288) | 3 months ago |  Now, I would be gung ho about this IF it was created using a non food source OR the waste products of a non food source. Corn is not the way to go and the use of corn for other than food consumption has caused a horrible impact on our economy. Other than that I think it is a really innovative and ingenious idea, thanks for the information!

| 6. Fishmomma (3197) | 3 months ago |  I hadn't heard about it, but think its a good idea. Right now, I have water delivered, so don't go down the water aisle at the store. There are a lot of green items on the grocery shelves here.
I am surprised its not on my news. It must be really costly.
