"Neogreene" - The Eco-Friendly Alternative to Neoprene

Looking for a new lunch bag or laptop sleeve? Before you purchase an item made from neoprene, check this out:

Neogreene is a new product designed by the California based company, GreenSmart.

- All GreenSmart fabrics are made from 100% post-consumer PET water and soda bottles
- Neogreene is toxic-free, containing no phthalates, VOCs, chlorine or metals
- Neogreene requires approximately 25% less energy and petroleum to produce than neoprene
- Neogreene materials are made with water-based adhesives, rather than solvent-based adhesives (like neoprene)
- Neogreene is 50% lighter than neoprene because it is injected with hydrogen with the foam is produced resulting in much lower transportation costs
- Neogreene is fully waterproof and is superior to neoprene in its insulation properties

Pretty cool, right?
