Biopactic Packaging Material

Biopactic packaging is a recyclable, reusable and 100% biodegradable next generation material made from bio-fermenting the invasive water hyacinth

Long description

Biopactic is the recyclable, reusable, and 100% biodegradable next-generation material that completely replaces the use of single-use plastic polymers( Polyethylene/polypropylene) in food and product
packaging as well as in manufacturing diapers. The biopactic material is bio-based material that is produced from invasive water hyacinth plants that grow aggressively in Lake Victoria in Kenya. By
utilizing the invasive water hyacinth plants to produce the
sustainable biopactic material, we can eliminate the environmental, health, and economic adverse impacts caused by the aggressive growth of the water hyacinth within the Lake. As a result, we reduce the use of single-use plastic materials in diapers and also product/food packaging. Through the project, we empower women by training and directly engaging them in product market testing to ensure that the final products from the biopactic materials are affordable and better than the conventional plastic packaging material.
