About this material

Ingeo is part of the Terratex-classified family of environmentally conscious fabrics and is made of biopolymer. Die-Cut Ingeo is lightweight and created by fusing, embossing and die-cutting the fabric with a swirling, circular cut-out pattern and is available in an elegant architectural white. The initial iteration of the fiber is derived from corn kernels. Currently the polymerization process takes corn from starch to sugar to polymer to fiber. The natural origins of the polymer allow it to be safely biodegradable at the end of its useful life. Ingeo is truly a closed-circle sustainable product. The DesignTex Group participates in the licencing program of the Solomon R. Guggeheim Museum.
