Shaped formats, inserts and protective structures.
Exploring shaped formats, inserts and protective structures where leaf-derived components may support packaging form and identity.
Development & R&D
Paper is the first commercial proof. The material platform goes further.
Releaf is open to joint developments, pilot services and consortia where leaf-derived fibers, fillers and formulations are tested in real applications — opening tracks beyond standard paper.
Joint development & pilot service
We can act as a development partner, not only as a supplier.
Releaf can support early-stage material exploration through a structured pilot service. We are open to joint developments with brands, converters, mills, equipment suppliers, universities, research labs, public bodies and industrial consortia. For consortium work, Releaf can contribute material know-how, pilot samples, use-case definition, dissemination assets and route-to-market logic.

The pilot service · seven steps from brief to scale
-
01
Application brief
Format, target performance and use case defined together.
-
02
Material route selection
Fibers, semi-fibers, filler or formulation chosen for the job.
-
03
Sample preparation
Lab-scale samples produced and characterized.
-
04
Prototype / pilot run
A prototype or pilot run at pilot or partner facility.
-
05
Test plan
Mechanical, converting and use-case tests defined and run.
-
06
Proof package
Datasheet, COA, photos and documentation assembled.
-
07
Scale assessment
Route-to-market and scale feasibility evaluated.
R&D tracks · beyond standard paper
Surface behavior and water-resistance routes.
Researching surface behavior, coatings and water-resistance routes for selected applications.
Fillers and components for board and composites.
Investigating leaf-derived fractions as fillers or components in board, composite and building-related material routes.
Tactility, pattern, color and surface-defined grades.
Developing paper variants where tactility, pattern, color, surface behavior or application requirements define the grade.
Extending the conversion logic beyond leaves.
Exploring whether Releaf's conversion logic can extend to other green-waste and plant-residue streams.
For consortia & joint development
Bring an application. We bring the material route.
Material know-how, pilot samples, use-case definition, dissemination assets and route-to-market logic for EU programs and industrial consortia.
