BIONATIC GmbH & Co. KG

BIONATIC GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 2009 in Bremen, Germany, is a leading European provider of eco-friendly packaging solutions for the food service sector and the catering industry. The company, led by managing directors Robert Czichos and Michael Brink, specializes in the development and distribution of sustainable packaging made from bio-based, renewable resources.

BIONATIC offers over 500 different packaging solutions, including products made from bagasse (sugarcane residue), palm leaf (betel nut palm), bamboo, wood from certified sustainable forestry, and bio-plastic (PLA)[1][5].

• Sustainable Food Service Packaging: Salad bowls, plates, cups, cutlery, and many other products that meet the needs of gastronomy, catering, hotels, tourism, and the grocery retail sector.
• Reusable Products: Through its subsidiary Häppy Compagnie, BIONATIC also offers CO2-compensated, reusable packaging for the food service sector, suitable for events, camping, and other applications[5].

BIONATIC is deeply rooted in the sustainability economy. The company's main mission is to develop companies and partnerships that offer products and services with an environmentally friendly "sustainability core." Environmental consciousness is viewed at BIONATIC not as a corporate obligation but as a central philosophy[2][4].

BIONATIC is actively committed to reducing plastic waste and environmental pollution. Here are some of the key initiatives:

• Certifications: BIONATIC holds various certifications, such as ECO Step and DIN 13431 (EN13432) for disposable tableware, as well as BSCI guidelines for palm leaf producers in India[1].
• CO2 Compensation: Häppy Compagnie, a subsidiary of BIONATIC, produces CO2-compensated, reusable packaging that minimizes the ecological footprint[5].
• Innovative and Digital Solutions: BIONATIC drives the creative development of eCommerce, eFulfillment, and mobile apps to ensure efficient and sustainable business processes[4].

From a one-man operation in 2009, BIONATIC has grown into a corporate group with over 95 employees. The company now serves a large customer base across Europe and beyond, including gastronomy, catering, hotels, tourism, manufacturing, and grocery retail. The automation of business processes and the use of an efficient ERP system have significantly contributed to the growth and success of the company[5].
