NatureWorks (R) LLC, founded in 2001 and based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, is a joint venture of Cargill and Teijin Limited. The firm develops low carbon footprint biopolymers that are derived from renewable resources. Natural plant sugars are employed in creating a proprietary polylactide polymer, marketed under the NatureWorks and Ingeo (TM) brands. NatureWorks resin is used for packaging manufacturing. The resin can be clear or opaque, flexible or rigid. The polymer resists grease and oil. It also serves as a flavor and odor barrier. The Ingeo fiber can be used to create new yarns, fabrics, and garments. NatureWorks originally was established in 1997 as a Cargill research project. It was launched in 2001 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill. NatureWorks maintains a manufacturing plant in Blair, Nebraska. It has purchased wind power to offset CO2 emissions. It also works with recycling and composting organizations. NatureWorks serves clients across North America, Europe, and Asia.
