Well if you have never heard of ‘Ingeo’, you are not alone. The latest innovations in the textile realm with the help of biotechnology has paved a way for organic, sustainable and eco- friendly fabrics to become an uncontested choice for the customers. One such experiment was Ingeo, a man- made fiber made out of corn. The raw materials for this eco- fiber are made by fermenting sugar extracted from corn.

What makes Ingeo different from the rest?

Ingeo, the corn fabric is derived from natural renewable resource and is earth- friendly. It has turned out to be promising alternative to synthetic fibers and a trademark product of Natureworks LLC, USA.  What sets this fabric apart from the rest is its durability, elasticity, heat- resistance, allows air to permeate easily, and allows moisture to regain easily. The fabric is wrinkle- free which makes it an obvious choice for those who have an active lifestyle.

Ingeo has been the first man- made fiber from a sustainable resource. The fabric is designed in such a way to combine the advantages of natural materials with performance of synthetic fibers making it a versatile fabric and an obvious choice to be used for clothing, bedding and packaging.

Ingeo is being viewed as the fabric of the future due to its low- cost involved in manufacturing and being an environment- friendly fabric with its next to negligible emission of greenhouse gases. The clothing made out of this fabric is largely being seen as a viable alternative to synthetic fibers.
