Releaf Paper is a material for packaging production made of fallen leaves fiber, which is the world's first of its kind. A unique technology has been developed to turn urban green waste biomass into paper, helping cities achieve carbon neutrality. This solution addresses the problem of green waste utilization in the urban ecosystem and preserves the integrity of forest ecosystems.
Releaf Paper has several positive impacts, including saving 17 trees for every one ton of produced paper, reducing 78% of CO2 emissions compared to traditional paper manufacturing, consuming 15 times less water than traditional paper production, and utilizing 2.3 tons of leaves to produce one ton of material.
The patented technology of extracting fiber from fallen leaves developed in 2018 is the heart of the manufacturing process. The technology enables recycling of leaves from any species of trees or bushes and in any conditions. Releaf Paper partners with several big European cities to obtain the required volume of leaves year-round. The technological process cleans leaves from garbage and granulates them to ensure storage and supply throughout the year. The amount of leaves generated by the partner cities covers Releaf Paper's needs, ensuring uninterrupted supply, timeliness, and high production volumes.
Transitioning to naturally recycled packaging is a powerful way for brands to demonstrate their sustainability and shared values to customers. Releaf Paper can be used to create natural-looking environmentally-conscious packaging for various industries and customer segments. Brands can use beautiful and functional packaging produced from bio waste and make a visible commitment to the circular economy. A video about Releaf Paper can be found at:
