Our Mission

Innovate paper and packaging materials that revolutionise the industry and solve the environmental crisis.

Our History

envoPAP’s journey began at the University at Southampton when it became apparent to our founder Kaushal that the paper and packaging industry needed disruption. Reducing the burden on earth caused by paper and packaging production was at the forefront of Kaushal’s mind when he started considering truly sustainable innovation, instead of green-washed products. Using abundantly available agricultural waste as raw material, instead of traditional wood pulp in paper and packaging production, we created our first commercial product in 2015. Although paper is a widely used commodity that contributes to 40% of deforestation worldwide, every envoPAP product saves trees from being chopped down while performing the exact same function without the environmental costs.

We believe in embracing sustainability at every level of our company, from the technicalities of production to the ethical treatment of our employees so that we fully honour our commitment to the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. We challenge conventional paper production every day in order to innovate beyond the constraints of traditional production to ensure a sustainable future. Contrary to the linear "take, make, dispose" way of living, envoPAP believes in the circular principle of creating wealth from waste.

Global goals

At envoPAP we are committed to playing our part in advancing the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Goals. We intend to do this by promoting our innovative paper and packaging solutions to a global audience whilst also educating people on the many environmental and business benefits of giving agro-waste a second life.

Slide 1 of 8

Goal 1
No Poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
envoPAP strives to offer fair wages and safe working conditions to all its employees.
In accordance to our 2030 Agenda, we aim to create 1,000+ job opportunities through our future expansion, provide sustainable material solutions worldwide and give back to organisations that are tackling poverty and sustainable innovation.
Goal 8
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Using sugar cane waste to make paper doesn’t just help the environment. We support corporate farming by helping our farmers in India plant and process sugarcane efficiently, providing them the technical expertise and a ready market for their produce.
Goal 9
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Build a resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Our production is efficiently utilised with our high-grade machinery running at 70% capacity; a maximum capacity of 135,000 tonnes per annum. envoPAP is made from locally sourced agricultural waste from sugarcane and wheat straw (which is usually burnt by farmers).
Goal 12
Responsible Production and Consumption
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The production of envoPAP emits 38% and 28% less carbon than conventional wood paper and packaging, respectively. After use, envoPAP materials can be recycled to make recycled paper; extending the lifetime value of our products.
Goal 13
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Since inception, we have saved over 800,000 trees through our production process! By 2025, we aim to rescue 5 million trees to help combat climate change and stop deforestation on a worldwide scale.
Goal 14
Life Below Water
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
We are committed to sustainable systems and as a result, sought out to become ZLD Certified (oriented to zero liquid discharge). This means we reduced our company’s environmental impact by minimising the production of liquid waste and reducing the consumption of main water by reusing water created in the production process.
Goal 15
Life on Land
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
Compared to traditional paper made from virgin wood fibres, envoPAP products are thoroughly green and are leading the charge to make the paper industry truly sustainable. Our products offer a similar quality with a fraction of the environmental impact.
Goal 17
Partnerships for the Goals
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
envoPAP is a B2B company that aims to make businesses across the globe more sustainable by urging them to switch from wood paper packaging to our high-quality packaging made from agricultural waste. In doing so, we are currently helping Governments, blue-chip companies, material suppliers and distributors reduce their carbon footprint significantly.

Our Agenda

We have mapped out the best plan to help us measure our progress and reach our targets by 2030.

2025 Agenda

By 2025, we aim to save 5 million trees by innovating with all our partners and help reduce their overall carbon footprint in the process.

Today

Each metric ton of envoPAP helps save 50 trees from being chopped down for paper and packaging production. Going by that formula, we’ve saved over 800,000 trees since 2015.

2030 Agenda

By 2030, we aim to save 10 million trees across the globe and also empower 1000+ people by providing job opportunities and donating profits towards sustainable development.
