PACKIOLI

PACKIOLI

Addressing the issue of plastic packaging, PACKIOLI is a water-resistant soap packaging that uses artichoke leaf and peapod bioplastics which are 100% biodegradable and locally-sourced. The goal behind the zero-waste wraps is to eliminate plastic packaging, also, meet the hygiene, logistics, and endurance needs of the commercial soap brands. With its sealed edges and compatibility with manufacturing methods such as heat sealing, PACKIOLI intended the zero-waste packaging to compete with existing plastic packaging in the market. By using artichoke leaf, it tackles the enormous artichoke waste, 80% of each artichoke thrown out - especially in the west of Turkey.
