PACKIOLI

Home-compostable,low-cost biomaterial innovation made from corn waste. Tailored for cosmetics and personal care brands, it's a versatile raw material for rigid and flexible packaging solutions.

PACKIOLI

The message of the project

‘’Packioli’’ is a pioneering solution that addresses two critical global challenges: the environmental impact of agricultural waste and plastic packaging. Our primary focus centers on addressing both the incineration/landfilling of corn waste, a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, and the pressing plastic packaging concerns within the cosmetics and personal care industry.‘’Packioli’’ distinguishes itself through its innovative home-compostable biocomposite raw materials, a breakthrough derived from corn waste, providing an eco-friendly and cost-effective raw material for versatile packaging tailored to cosmetics and personal care brands.

The Idea Behind the Project

Three key attributes set ‘’Packioli’’ apart: Firstly, it boasts home-compostability, marine-degradability, 100% vegan & biobased composition, microplastic-free characteristics, and utilizes waste—an ideal solution for brands emphasizing easy compostability and carbon footprint reduction. Secondly, with a remarkable up to 45% corn waste content, Packioli facilitates a seamless transition to sustainable materials on a commercial scale without compromising profit margins. Thirdly, our solution is highly scalable, with unique production compatibility (injection molding, 3D printing, and undergoing testing for blow molding). 

What next?

The immediate processability of corn in ‘’Packioli’’ not only conserves energy but also boosts efficiency in mass production, adeptly fulfilling the volume and material requirements of companies. ‘’Packioli’’ stands out as an efficient and cost-effective choice for businesses committed to both environmental responsibility and operational excellence.
