Founder Zuripacks

Zuripacks is a packaging manufacturing company with a bold vision to create a plastic-free world by transforming agricultural waste, particularly banana pseudostems, into eco-friendly, plant-based packaging materials, providing a sustainable alternative to plastic-based packaging.

Rooted in circular economy principles, we work closely with banana farmers, women and youth from marginalised communities, providing them with new income streams and dignified green jobs. Our biodegradable packaging solutions serve environmentally conscious businesses in retail, e-commerce and food sectors. By converting agricultural waste into value, we’re not just reducing plastic pollution, we’re building an inclusive, regenerative future driven by local innovation.

“I started Zuripacks because I believe the fight against plastic pollution must also be a fight for inclusion, equity and opportunity. The 1000 Young Entrepreneurs Start Up Fund helped us take critical steps in scaling our impact, equipping more youth and women with green skills while driving the transition to sustainable packaging across Africa.”
