History[edit]
good natured Products Inc. has its origin in the bioplastics and environmentally friendly products industry. The company was founded in 2006 in Vancouver, Canada, under the name Solegear Bioplastic Technologies Inc.[2]
The founding of good natured Products Inc. was driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastic products. With growing concerns about the environmental impact of plastic waste, there was a rising need for innovative solutions that could offer more earth-friendly alternatives.[3]
As Solegear Bioplastic Technologies Inc., the company focused on the development and commercialization of plant-based bioplastics. These bioplastics were derived from renewable resources such as corn, sugarcane, or other agricultural feedstocks, making them more sustainable and biodegradable compared to conventional petroleum-based plastics.[4]
Solegear aimed to create bioplastic materials that could be used in various applications, including packaging, consumer products, and industrial uses. The company's focus on research and development enabled it to formulate bioplastics with desirable properties, suitable for specific applications and industries.
Over time, as the demand for environmentally friendly products increased, the company expanded its product portfolio to include a diverse range of plant-based products. These offerings covered various sectors, such as food packaging, general merchandise, commercial business supplies, and more. In October 2017, Solegear Bioplastic Technologies Inc. underwent a rebranding and changed its name to good natured Products Inc. The name change reflected the company's broader vision and commitment to providing nature-friendly products that contribute to a more sustainable future.[4]
As good natured Products Inc., the company continued to grow and diversify its product offerings, catering to businesses, retailers, food producers, restaurants, packaging manufacturers, and consumers seeking eco-friendly alternatives.
