Projectdetails

Introduction

Every year, over 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced globally, of which plastic packaging waste accounts for about 46%. This waste accumulates in waste dumps, landfills, and ends up in oceans and water bodies, causing alarming threats to ecosystems. This calls for sustainable alternatives for plastic usage worldwide.

RAIKU's Innovation

RAIKU has developed a proprietary cleantech manufacturing technology for the creation of novel green packaging alternatives to bubble wrap for the packaging industry.

Key Features of RAIKU's Technology

  • The process utilizes one raw material: wood.
  • It involves zero chemicals.
  • The end of life of the product is compostable.

Environmental Impact

RAIKU's novel material needs 10 times less wood than the paper/carton industry, drastically decelerating deforestation. This process also consumes significantly less energy and water, making it a high value-added product.

Market Disruption

RAIKU is poised to generate the needed disruption in the packaging market, enabling manufacturers to transition to a circular economy paradigm and contributing towards EU and UN Green goals.
