product design. The casings for Walkman® and the

blister package of the radio have been made from

High technology innovation

combines with responsible thinking

in a new generation of PC from

Fujitsu, where the housings have

been made from NatureWorks

polymer resin. Starting with just a

small part for PC’s as early as 2002,

Fujitsu was the first to lead and

develop the application of

NatureWorks bio-polymer for IT

products as well as the embossed

carrier tape needed to ship LSI

chips in bulk.

The Panasonic - MatsushitaBattery Industrial Co, Ltd are

supplying NatureWorks brandedbatteries and blister packaging in

And last but not least, a new range

of home spa candles from B sa Bin Thailand (Prod Logi Co), will be on display during Ingeo

NatureWorks Earth Month with

packaging made from NatureWorks

polymer to protect and preservethe product as well as promote

a clear eco-modern style.

Because of its natural originsand specialized manufacturing,

NatureWorks polymer uses 68%

less fossil fuel resources than

traditional, petrochemical based

plastics. This also means that CO2

emissions are greatly reduced

creating a reduced carbon footprint for us all. This ingredient creates the building

blocks NatureWorks LLC’s partners have used to transform the consumer landscape

with this full range of mainstream alternative lifestyle products.
