Repaq: Pioneers in the Development of Compostable Packaging
editRepaq, founded in 2017 by product designers Sven Seevers, Katja Seevers, and Hannes Füting, is an innovative startup based in Hamburg and Berlin that specializes in the development, design, and production of plastic-free, compostable packaging solutions.
Key Products and Services
editRepaq offers a wide range of packaging made from renewable raw materials such as cellulose, starch, and paper. These packaging solutions are certified home and garden compostable and can be completely decomposed by microorganisms, fungi, insects, and mollusks within 42 to 180 days[2][4][5].
The packaging is versatile and is ideal for food, hygiene products, dry food, and other items. They can be printed in color with water-based, compostable inks and can be filled using conventional packaging machines without requiring additional infrastructural demands[2][4].

Repaq's packaging is guaranteed to be free of harmful substances and is made from raw materials sourced from FSC-certified forestry, which are non-GMO and fast-growing[3][4][5].
