Releaf Paper
Meet
The Startup
Sustainable packaging made from dead leaves.
PAIN POINT
Sustainability regulation forces brand owners to seek alternatives to non-recyclable and non-biodegradable paper and plastic packaging, to reduce their CO2 footprint. 55% of end users prioritize sustainability in packaging when making a purchasing decision.
HOW IT SOLVES IT
Releaf Paper replaces plastic and conferential paper with material made from the fibers of fallen leaves. The Releaf Paper solution generates recyclable packaging that decomposes in 50 days, emits 78% less CO2, consumes three times less energy and saves 17 trees per each ton of product. Thanks to its unique patented technology it makes an impact on the circular economy by processing urban waste.
USE CASE
Since 2022, Releaf Paper supplies packaging materials to L’Oréal: kraft paper sheets to wrap the products at the warehouse, as well as custom-made paper bags for Kiehl’s, NYX and Biolage stores. Releaf’s packaging not only protects customers’ product, but also demonstrates the innovative spirit of the brand’s owner, as well as sustainable values to end-users.
