Earth Packaging
- India
- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
We all know that plastics acts as a major contributor to pollution. The ways in which this packaging contributes to plastic pollution are – single-use plastic, excessive packaging, non-recyclable packaging and microplastics. Plastic pollution also harms aquatic life and further contributes to air pollution
We have developed crop residue into a package material with embedded plant seeds of 12 different varieties such as carrot seeds, mustard seeds, peas seeds, marigold, basil, tomato and other plant seeds of economic value. Once discarded, the packaging will decompose rapidly eventually unlike the plastic packaging. It also has the ability of growing plants naturally, hence will add to the goal of sustainable environment and reducing Carbon footprints
Furthermore, the printing on such packaging has been done using natural fruit juice instead chemical dyes or synthetic ink
This innovation not only helps reduce greenhouse gases but also provides a new source of income for farmers. We believe that this technology is not only a sustainable alternative to plastic but also a significant contributor to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and counters many problems
We have a robust experience in developing and countering Carbon footprints

Our packaging solution has already been developed and has been in Use
The same has been appreciated by many Celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr, the A+ Hollywod celebrity and Low Carbon Earth organisation and Prime Minister Narendra Modi
we cannot bring this technology to the masses alone. We need your support to introduce this technology to the global audience and create awareness about its positive impact.
As an organization committed to accelerating technologies and initiatives to mitigate climate change and help humanity adapt in the face of our current climate emergency, we believe that an institution like yours may play a crucial role to play in encouraging the adoption of sustainable alternatives to plastic
- Business Model (e.g. product-market fit, strategy & development)
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
- Monitoring & Evaluation (e.g. collecting/using data, measuring impact)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. delivery, logistics, expanding client base)
- Public Relations (e.g. branding/marketing strategy, social and global media)
we avoid using harsh chemicals and artificial dyes in our packaging designs. Instead, we use natural fruit juice to create unique and sustainable designs that add a special touch to our products. We are proud to be using this cutting-edge technology for our own product packaging, but we believe that it can have an even greater impact on the world
