The Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) hosts one Ohio Soy 2020 forum each year with a specific theme in mind. At the forum on August 31, 2009, the theme was soy-based bioproducts. On this day, presentations and group discussions were focused on soybeans and their future as a feedstock for the bioproducts industry.
Attendees of the forums usually received a notepad or other giveaway but the opportunity to put a locally made bioproduct into the hands of attendees was intriguing.
Prior to the forum, funded by the OSC, Battelle had developed a process to combine soybean meal and plastics, creating a soy-based polymer. The agricultural plastic was tested using Univenture’s patented UniKeep design and injection molding process. A binder was produced using the agricultural plastic, affirming commerical success. The collaboration resulted in an R&D 100 award for their combined efforts.
“Battelle scientists have devloped an innovative method and technology of using agricultural co-products to reduce the use of petroleum based products. Univenture has been a strategic resource for us to be able to demonstrate the commercial success of our soy-based polymer and to produce a marketable commodity such as the UniKeep Binder,” commented Barry McGraw, Battelle’s Program Manager.
“The UniKeep Case Binder by Univenture, Inc. came immediately to mind when we were planning this year’s forum, due to the recent announcement that Battelle, OSC, and Univenture had received an R&D 100 award for the soy-based polymer that was used to create the binder,” said Kirk Merritt, OSC director of international marketing and Ohio Soy 2020 project manager. “The binder was a perfect example of how a soy-based, environmentally friendly product can be developed and brought to industry and the marketplace.”
“It’s great to know that there are companies in the state like Univenture who are working to put bioproducts out there in the market.”
-Keith Kemp, OSC Chairman and Soybean Farmer from Preble County
Univenture provided their patented, one-inch UniKeep Case Binder made from soy meal polymer, a byproduct of soybeans. The binder was digitally printed with the OSC and Ohio Soy 2020 logos on the front of the binder.

The National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation (NRSF) has made great strides in saving children’s lives by spreading knowledge about Reye’s Syndrome, its prevention, and raising money for further research and assistance from the FDA.
The NRSF depends wholly on voluntary contributions for support of all programs. Their newest fundraiser was a Cell Phone Recycling project, in which they needed an envelope for cell phone donations to be sent.
They looked upon Univenture’s EnvyPak envelope, made from 100% recyclable polypropylene, to provide their resolve.
“The EnvyPak envelope brought a lot of ‘class’ and a sense that we, as a Foundation, cared about the project,” remarked Cathy Zraik, Adminstrative Assistant, NRSF.
“The Univenture team was absolutely great to work with. Their care and concern about making the project fit our needs; their creativity in design, and the entire process were such a pleasure.”
The envelope was a 9″ x 6″ printed mailer, which displayed detailed steps on how to recycle a phone, as well as the NRSF slogan and contact information. On the back of the envelope they were gracious enough to include an ad promoting the unique packaging options available with Univenture.
“The state of the economy has led us to seek creative forms of fundraising and we are excited about the cell phone recycling project,” said Zraik. “Not only does this project keep cell phones out of landfills, it puts the phones back into the hands of people who need them most; battered women and at-risk children.”
“The dollars generated from this fundraiser will pay for new Novel H1N1 Flu brochures and Public Service Announcements, of which there is now the most urgent need. We are so pleased with how this all turned out,” remarked Zraik.
The envelopes were passed out to convention goers at the 91st Annual American Legion Convention in Louisville in August of 2009. “Most Legion Members took handfuls of the envelopes back to share with other Unit Members and with family and friends. Everyone commented on the appeal and the uniqueness of the envelopes,” said Zraik.
About NRSF
The National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation was founded in Bryan, Ohio, 35 years ago, in 1974 by John and Terri Freudenberger after they lost their 5-year-old daughter to Reye’s Syndrome. Since that time, the foundation has made tremendous strides in saving children’s lives, being responsible for most of the Reye’s Syndrome research in the United States, and the FDA push to have all aspirin products labeled with the Reye’s Syndrome warning. To donate or find out more about the NRSF, visit www.ReyesSyndrome.org. For more about their recycling program, visit www.reyessyndrome.org/recycleprogram.html.

Marysville, OH–August 27, 2009–Univenture, Inc. is an award-winning inventor and manufacturer of innovative, patented, environmentally friendly products for media packaging, document storage, presentation and marketing mailers. The company is pleased to announce its products made of polypropylene films, resins, and spun bond polypropylene comply with the lastest lead and phthalate safety standards and regulations as mandated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA).

“As an environmentally responsible company, we believe in manufacturing quality, eco-friendly products that are safe,” said Ross Youngs, CEO and Founder of Univenture. “Our CD/DVD packaging, document storage and mailing products are designed for resuse. If packaging is intended to be reused or used in conjunction with a child care item or children’s toy, then it must be in compliance with CPSIA regulations. Univenture had the testing done by a certified, independent lab so our customers know we are committed to providing safe products,” added Youngs.
Univenture’s Safety-sleeve materials, UniKeep molded polypropylene, and EnvyPak mailers were tested for phthalate and lead compliance.
