Cultivating Positive Change, One Seedling at a Time
At HyaPak, we make 100% biodegradable bioplastics derived from water hyacinth. Our ingenious wrappers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging options.
One of our key products are biodegradable seedling bags that promote healthy seedling growth, decompose naturally in just six months, and contribute to a circular economy.
Each HyaPak seedling wrapper eliminates the need for traditional plastic, collectively reducing tons of plastic waste from entering our environment.
Increased growth rate due to the nutrients in our hyacinth seedling bags
of carbon offset per seedling wrapper
Increased water retention due to reduced water used during irrigation
Our Story
Why we do this
Our story began by getting stuck in Lake Naivasha, Kenya, during a class trip because of water hyacinth. We witnessed the growing problems of water hyacinth infestation and the threat of plastic waste to our environment, and to communities. But within these challenges, we saw a spark of hope.
We are now harnessing the power of innovation to address these environmental concerns while empowering local communities.
Our solution lies in creating innovative and eco-friendly alternatives to single-use packaging products made from water hyacinth.
Basically, packaging products that look, feel, and perform like plastics, but that decompose.
