Andrew Ungerleider, founder of the Livingry Foundation, is a pioneer in sustainable business and green technology. With a lifelong passion for environmental innovation, he established Earthstone International, LLC, a patented eco-tech platform that transforms waste glass into building materials—reducing landfill waste and dependency on mined resources. It focused on developing and marketing products based on proprietary white foam glass technology. Their background reflects a strong focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across diverse sectors.

Prior to Earthstone International, Andrew founded Growstone, further expanding their involvement in sustainable product development. Growstone continues to develop new products and move into new markets by using patented technology and innovation. The company's horticulture, consumer and industrial product lines are expanding.

In 1992, Andrew founded Emerald Forest, a line of haircare products that are vegan and sulfate-free. In addition, Andrew invented Yum Yum Mix Plant Food, a natural all-purpose fertilizer designed to enhance soil fertility and support robust plant growth. Perfect for all types of plants, this nutrient-rich mix promotes moisture retention and lush foliage without the use of harsh chemicals.
