May 6, 2016 (Vancouver, BC) Solegear Bioplastic Technologies Inc. (TSX-V:SGB) (“Solegear” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its newly branded plant-based office organizer line good naturedTM is now available in select London Drugs stores across Western Canada with the full suite of office organization products available online at www.londondrugs.com.

Working alongside London Drugs to meet growing demand from its customers for more eco-friendly options, this launch reinforces Solegear’s initiatives to work collaboratively with industry leaders to seek out home and office organization products that are primed for revitalization using the Company’s proprietary bioplastics.

“We’re thrilled that London Drugs shares our same commitment to offering more unique and innovative products to its customer that are also better for the planet. These office organizers are just the start of where we see the good natured product portfolio developing over time,” said Paul Antoniadis, CEO of Solegear. “With London Drugs input, we will continue our commitment to seek out home and office organization products that are ripe for a bioplastic make-over and re-introduce them under the good natured brand at prices that are comparable to traditional fossil-fuel based products.”

“At London Drugs we are continuously looking to increase the number of eco-minded products in our stores,” said Clifford Fong, Buyer, General Merchandise, London Drugs. “We are pleased to have Solegear’s good natured TM office organization products available for our customers who are particularly looking for products created from renewable plant-based sources. Over the past few years we have seen tremendous growth in customer interest in these types of products.”
Manufactured in Canada from Solegear’s independently certified 85% plant-based Polysole® LV1250 bioplastic, the good naturedTM brand and suite of products are specifically targeting the growing multi-billion dollar home and business organization market that is primarily dominated by traditional, fossil fuel-based plastics that have been reported to contain materials and additives that may be harmful to the environment and human health.
