RAIKU is a cleantech company that has developed a breakthrough packaging material and its production technology to solve the massive pollution in the packaging industry. We will substitute plastics and other high-carbon packaging materials (bubble wrap, paper, cartons, bioplastics) with our 100% natural, compostable, beautiful, and shock- absorbing material.
RAIKU’s packaging filling is made out of only one raw material, wood, and no chemicals or additives are used in the production. The raw material use is extremely efficient as we can turn 1 m3 of wood into 15-20 m3 of packaging. Combined with very low amounts of energy and water, we can offer one of the lowest packaging materials in the world, if not the lowest. For example, compared to paper and carton production we reduce wood use by over 90%, energy use by 98% and water use by 99.9%. In addition, chemical use will be reduced by 100% as we use none.
