Uncover the Whole Story
We are over a year into our RAW project, which started with a conversation with an agri-waste paper manufacturer, envoPAP and has progressed to RAW Packaging becoming the first and only agri-waste carton provider – with much more to come!
How it’s made
RAW Packaging is made in almost exactly the same way as traditional wood-based packaging. Except it uses less energy, resuses waste that would otherwise been burned or put into landfill and 100% recyclable, biodegradable and marine safe. Watch our ‘How it’s made’ video to find out more.
Made from crop waste such as Sugar Cane and Wheat. Although the paper is made from reusing waste, the fibres still class as virgin, bringing a high quality and stronger product that recycled fibres!
