Support EcoIngenuity Inc, the home of Jacinto&Lirio (www.jacintoandlirio.com) in our bid to be among the 25 fellows of the Unreasonable Institute 2011 (www.unreasonableinstitute.org)

Our mission is to raise the competitiveness of indigenous materials and the community livelihoods producing them. 

We strengthen their enterprises' sustainability by creating market-driven products needing their production capacity. But instead of simply being the market link developing generic products, we're capitalizing on material innovations to bring higher value.

The idea is to create a global brand that engages the market and links the communities in a supply chain synergy. In this way, their enterprises are supported by a sustainable system which will generate wealth for their community.

Our first brand is Jacinto&Lirio (means "Hyacinth and Lily') and we utilized the water hyacinth, an invasive plant pest, which was innovated to have a leather-like look. We engaged the market since 2009 and now production capacity is being developed with the communities in order to meet demand.

This is a proudly Filipino social enterprise! 
Let's again launch the Filipino to the global stage!
