Creating sustainable
solutions
that the world
needs
At HyaPak, we primarily convert water hyacinth (world’s most problematic aquatic weed) into biodegradable alternatives to single-use disposable plastic products like wrappers, straws, tumblers, and party plates. These biodegrade from 3 to 12 months.
We also hold environmental pollution mitigation measures such as tree plantings and river cleanups that involve people at community levels.
What we are doing?
HyaPak is changing the way we use and dispose plastics
Our commitment is to tackle both plastic waste pollution and water hyacinth infestation through innovation.
Ultimately, we want to make you change the way you interact with conventional packaging plastics in your day-to-day activities, and have you opt for biodegradable alternatives…not just because they are eco-friendly, but also cheaper, more reliable, and with a and higher quality

So how exactly do we transform a weed into biodegradable plastic?
We take great deal in sourcing water hyacinth with the help of the affected fishermen and community members
This involves ensuring that the water hyacinth is dried and crushed thoroughly to the highest quality to meet our standards before proceeding with the conversion process.
Through a meticulous extraction process, we obtain the fibers from water hyacinth, which will be converted into biodegradable alternatives.
Using innovative techniques, and patented processes, we convert the extracted fibers into biodegradable alternatives for single-use plastic products.
After molding, our production process ensures the creation of eco-friendly products that biodegrade within 3 to 6 months, but with a possibility to extend to 12 months or slightly more depending on the intended use case.

How Else We Create Impact

and transform livelihoods
01
Water hyacinth, is an invasive aquatic weed that disrupts water flow, hinders biodiversity, and impacts livelihoods. UNEP lists this as the ‘world’s most problematic aquatic weed’.
02
Plastic waste pollutes our land and waterways, harming wildlife, land ecosystems, and marine life. Each product we make offers an alternative to a plastic product that would have ended up polluting.
03
We involve the affected local communities in our initiatives and help create a positive change in their socioeconomic livelihoods.
04
Each product we make offsets emissions that would have been produced if a similar oil-based plastic product was to be manufactured
SOCIAL IMPACT
We then take it a notch higher...beyond the science and labs into community action
Because combating the climate crisis needs both research and awareness. Our little green step takes this into community action projects.
Adopt A River
An initiative that focuses on mobilising community members at the grassroots level to clean up a section of a polluted river running beside their community (about 10 to 20m), as we engage them on the importance of environmental conservation and restoration.
We are collaborating with Larry Dwayne to make this happen!
So far, this initiative has included Kenya’s most polluted river; the Nairobi River, and River Kandisi
