Sustainability

From nature.
Back to nature.

Made from renewable plant materials that return to the earth without leaving harm behind. Our approach is honest, practical and built for Africa’s food businesses.

The change is coming

Ghana’s Styrofoam Ban:
What businesses need to know.

From January 2027, Ghana begins its national transition away from Styrofoam food packaging. Businesses preparing now will lead the market. Those who wait will face supply shocks, price pressure and a scramble for alternatives.

Today

Switching from petroleum-based foam to plant-based fibre is the single biggest packaging upgrade an African food business can make this decade.

Materials & approach

Four building blocks of the BlacPac range.

Sugarcane bagasse (Primary)

Our primary material — sugarcane fibre left after juice extraction. Renewable, food-safe and engineered into bowls, trays and clamshells.

Recyclable kraft

Unbleached kraft food bags, sleeves and labels designed to flow into paper recycling streams. Easy to print, easy to recover.

FSC-aligned birchwood

Our birchwood cutlery is sourced from responsibly managed forests — strong, smooth and fully home-compostable.

Reduced plastic dependency

We help Ghana’s food businesses phase out single-use plastics ahead of the January 2027 Styrofoam transition.

Our commitment

“We won’t overclaim certifications. We will help your business move further from conventional single-use plastic — with packaging that performs and looks the part.”

Real progress on sustainability happens through honest choices, measured upgrades and partners who’ll stand behind the materials they sell. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
