Neogreene is an innovative green material that can replace traditional neoprene, a material commonly used in wetsuit manufacture. Neogreene retains the stretch, cushion and feel of neoprene, but uses 25% less petroleum, 25% less energy to manufacture, and none of the toxins found in typical neoprene.

The GreenSmart Company’s Neogreene material is used to make laptop sleeves, insulated lunch totes, water bottle cozies and wine bottle carriers. GreenSmart also donates 10% of net profits to the World Wildlife Fund and other environmental organizations.

GreenSmart has abandoned the chloroprene chemistry of neoprene entirely and developed a material with all the attributes without the hazards, We call it neogreene. It is water based chemistry that allows for water based adhesives that still provides the squishy and smooth material with a little bit of stretch. (greensmart.biz)
