Materials

A leaf-based material platform for paper and beyond.

Releaf works with fallen urban leaves as a raw material stream and converts them into usable components for paper, packaging and future material applications.

Leaf-derived material components for paper and packaging.

Material architecture

This is the difference between a claim and a material. A claim must be printed. A material can speak through its surface, its touch and its structure. Releaf materials are designed to be sampled, specified, tested and applied.

Core

Releaf Fibers

Leaf-derived fibrous components developed for paper blends and material development routes. They are the foundation of Releaf's papermaking logic, not a decorative additive.

Core

Releaf Filler

A controlled fine fraction that can bring leaf-derived structure, tone and material character into paper and formulation systems.

Core

Semi-fibers

An intermediate material fraction used to bridge texture, distribution and formulation behavior in selected development routes.

Product

Releaf Paper

Paper made with leaf-derived components and compatible fibers. Available stock routes include white and brown papers, kraft and testliner grades, depending on validation and format.

Product

Packaging programs

Custom bags, boxes, mailers, wrapping and capsule formats built on Releaf material through partner converters.

R&D

Future materials

Molded, coatings, composites, building materials and other residues — development routes beyond standard paper.

Material logic

The leaf fraction is a design variable, not a moral badge.

Different applications need different balances of appearance, performance, cost and converting behavior. Releaf does not treat leaf content as a competition for the highest percentage. We treat it as a design and engineering parameter: enough to create material character and reduce reliance on conventional inputs in selected applications, while keeping the final product useful for its intended purpose.

Releaf Trace — visible material pattern in the sheet.

Material identity · Releaf Trace

The pattern is not printed. It is built into the sheet.

Releaf Trace is a specialty surface system where leaf-derived components create a visible, non-repeatable pattern inside the paper structure — a material-identity architecture, not a security claim.

Visible

Visual Trace

A visible natural paper pattern that gives the sheet its own material handwriting.

Batch

Lot fingerprint

A reference image or scan can document the pattern character of a batch or roll lot.

Data

Supply-chain ID

A QR or batch code can connect product to origin, grade, COA and proof documents.

Micro

Forensic layer

Leaf-derived structures may be visible at micro-level and support material-origin evidence.

PUF

PUF-style concept

The non-repeatable surface can be explored as a physical fingerprint for future authentication. Validation required.

Work with the material

A material you can sample, test and specify.

Datasheets, sample kits and material direction for paper, packaging and development routes.
