Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. NatureWorks LLC is a subsidiary of Cargill. NatureWorks produces a family of polymers derived entirely from annually renewable resources - namely plants - (bioplastics) designed to compete with petroleum-based plastic packaging materials, consumer goods and fiber products. The commercial quality polymer is made from the carbon found in simple plant sugars to create a proprietary polylactic acid polymer (PLA) which is marketed under the brand name Ingeo.
