Our story

A Word From Our Founder

When my son Emil was born, I had been working in the packaging industry for 5 years as the export sales manager of a leading Turkish flexible packaging factory.

While I was still passionate about my day-to-day work, I started to question how much non-recyclable plastic was being used under my nose:

  • Becoming a father gave me a new outlook. I started to care more about sustainability and the health of our planet.
  • I travelled more frequently to France. My wife being French, we visited my in-laws more often. I noticed during our travels that consumers in Europe are more and more leaning towards greener alternatives – including when it comes to packaging.

The packaging factory I was working at was capable of producing various packaging solutions upon client requests, but had never explored compostable packaging.

Recognizing the growing need for sustainable packaging, I took the initiative to research the best compostable materials and connected with manufacturers from around the world-from Japan to Spain, Israel, Germany, Belgium and Thailand. Eager to turn this idea into reality, I discussed the matter with our factory’s CEO and he encouraged me to give it a try: I could use the factory’s state-of-the-art machines and facilities, with compostable raw materials. And so, my intrapreneurship journey began!

My goal is to find and combine the best materials in terms of durability and sustainability, while keeping costs as low as possible. After years of trials and errors, I am proud to now be able to procure reliable and eco-friendly flexible packaging!
