Founded in Hong Kong in 2013 by Bulgarian inventor Todor Saslekov, 3Epack Group develops the 3Epak® paper bottle—a packaging system for non-carbonated beverages that combines a paper body with a separable plastic pouch. Its proprietary production equipment is designed to make and fill containers that use substantially less plastic while remaining recyclable through standard facilities and biodegradable in natural conditions. The privately held company supports beverage bottlers with packaging materials, equipment and technical know-how rather than bottling drinks itself.
PulpWorksFounded in 2011 by veteran packaging leader Paul Tasner, PulpWorks designs and produces custom molded-fiber packaging from renewable and upcycled materials as an alternative to single-use plastic. Its patented Karta-Pack began as a compostable replacement for plastic blister packs, and the company now develops production-ready fiber packaging for brands seeking recyclable or compostable protection. PulpWorks has earned more than 20 awards for sustainable packaging and environmental innovation.New York, NY
