Two Philippine made
eco-sustainable products have been recently recognized by the world’s leading
global consultancy firm, based in New York City, for material sourcing and
design innovation.
Global consultancy
firm, Material ConneXion, has listed Naturrescast
and Nucast by Cebu based Nature’s Legacy and fashion arm, Floreia, as among the world’s most
innovative and eco-sustainable materials through its flagship library in New
York, and online databases in six other countries, namely, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Spain, Thailand
and Sweden.
In 2015, Nature’s Legacy also won the 2015 old
Invention Award at the 43rd International Exhibition of Inventions
in Geneva, Switzerland for its sustainably and ethically produced Naturescast. Delantar, then, became the
first and only Filipino to receive the prestigious award after besting over 800
top inventors and participants from all over the world. In the same year,
Delantar’s company also represented the Philippines for the innovations Awards
in the ASEAN business Award Competition held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Nature’s Legacy is one of the more active Philippine representatives in the country
overseas fair participations and sourcing events organized by the center for
International Trade Exhibitions and Missions (CITEM) of the Philippine
Department of Trade and Industry. And also in the recent Manila FAME October
2016 show, the company’s Nucast and Naturescast products for the home and
fashion earned recommendation from international visitors for its sustainable
production and value-adding material features such as durability, water and
fire resistance , and absence of volatile organic compound (VOC).
“CITEM takes pride in
the global achievements of Philippine MSMEs such as this recent one by Nature’s Legacy and Floreia,” CITEM Executive Director Rosvi C. GAetos said.
As a returning
exhibitor in CITEM’s Manila FAME April 2017 edition, Nature’s Legacy will
feature its latest collections using its many other patented and eco-friendly

shared. “We are very careful in sourcing all our materials. As
much as possible, we
maintain a low carbon footprint and uphold the company’s commitment to our
environment and surrounding communities.”
