- Full Description
-
As a Certified B Corporation based in the UK, with a manufacturing facility in India, we lead the sustainable packaging industry by transforming agricultural waste into high-quality, eco-friendly paper solutions. Our products are competitively priced and emit 25-45% less carbon (based on LCA by Intertek) than traditional alternatives while offering compostability, degradability, and recyclability. We are dedicated to creating meaningful environmental change, having saved over two million trees to date, and supporting a circular economy that minimises waste and maximises resource efficiency.
Our product lines cater to various industries, including food, retail, cosmetics, and e-commerce, offering comparable strength, flexibility, and moisture resistance to conventional packaging. Our range includes:
● Paper: Sustainable communication products, such as copy papers and offset papers, that reflect environmental responsibility in every use. (MOQ: 25 metric tonne/one container)
● Packaging: Customisable kraft materials, such as Kraft Board and Kraft Natural, suited for applications from shopping bags to postal packaging. These materials can be coated with an eco-friendly material to enhance barrier properties, protecting diverse products. (MOQ: 25 metric tonne/one container)
● Personalised solutions: We offer a range of sustainable packaging options, including bags, boxes, envelopes, mailers, and notes, tailored to meet specific sustainability needs. While we do not directly handle the end products, our licensed converters across the globe deliver these customised solutions, ensuring responsible and eco-friendly packaging. (MOQ depends on the product and the converter)
● Coatings: Our latest innovation for sustainable protection, offering packaging that preserves product freshness while reducing reliance on single-use plastics—ideal for food packaging. (MOQ depends on the application and the specifics).
Our company assures that all its materials are plug-and-play, meaning they are compatible with most conventional machinery without requiring any adjustments. This allows for seamless integration into existing production processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational barriers for clients.
Our sustainable approach has been embraced by well-known corporate brands, which have replaced traditional materials with our products, achieving a 38% reduction in carbon footprint while conserving trees.
We seek international partners experienced in packaging, retail, or related industries to expand the market for our sustainable solutions. Ideal collaborations include joint venture agreements with companies committed to eco-friendly practices and looking to transition to sustainable packaging. By working together, we aim to introduce our innovative, non-toxic, ISO 9001/14001, Fair Trade, FDA and Vegan-certified packaging solutions to new markets, contributing to the global shift toward environmentally responsible practices. - Advantages and Innovations
-
1. Sustainable Agro-Waste Utilisation:
Our packaging solutions leverage agricultural waste, such as sugarcane and wheat straw, addressing waste management issues and conserving natural resources. By using agro-waste fibres, we reduce dependency on traditional paper sources, supporting deforestation reduction and sustainable supply chains. Compared to conventional packaging, our products minimise the environmental impact of raw material extraction, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint.
2. Commitment to the Circular Economy:
Our products are biodegradable and compostable, aligning with circular economy principles by safely returning to the environment. This innovation supports global sustainability goals and helps reduce the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in landfills and oceans. Unlike plastic-based packaging, our materials decompose naturally, leaving behind no toxic residues.
3. Customizable Eco-Friendly Solutions:
We offer versatile and customizable packaging that meets specific client needs, from design flexibility to enhanced product protection. Our materials empower brands to align their sustainability values with visually appealing, eco-friendly packaging. Unlike standardised solutions, our packaging combines environmental responsibility with design versatility, suitable for various industries.
4. Climate Impact Reduction:
Our use of agro-waste fibres helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste decomposition and traditional paper production. By actively promoting carbon sequestration through waste repurposing, we contribute to climate change mitigation. In contrast to conventional packaging, our products avoid resource-intensive extraction, reducing emissions and environmental strain. - Stage of Development
