Releaf is the world’s first manufacturer of sustainable paper and packaging from fallen leaves.

Releaf takes discarded leaves to produce sustainable kraft paper for printing, wrapping goods, and for manufacturing paper bags, corrugated packaging, and other paper products.

Using leaves exclusively from urban areas, sidewalks, and roadways for paper production, Releaf helps avoid the negative impacts on soil and microorganisms that would come from collecting leaves out in nature. As well as paper, Releaf also creates sustainable packaging and bags, all of which can also be recycled in the standard paper waste stream!

This innovative product is up for this year’s Young Inventors Prize from the European Patent Office.
