Grain Husk Packaging Solutions

It’s NOT about going carbon neutral anymore

Recou is an innovative and ecological cushioning material for packaging, developed by Prosveration, a German company that aims to create sustainable and plastic-free packaging solutions. Recou is made from grain husks, the wrappings of cereal grains, which are usually discarded as waste during grain processing. By using an organic binder, Recou can be molded into any shape and size, and has comparable properties to conventional, petroleum-based packaging materials such as Styrofoam. Recou is completely biodegradable and can be disposed of in the organic waste bin or compost.

Prosveration offers Recou as a custom-made packaging solution for B2B customers who want to protect their products and communicate their sustainability ambitions to their target groups. Recou is suitable for various applications, such as food, cosmetics, electronics, and fragile items. The pricing of Recou depends on the volume, shape, and complexity of the packaging, as well as the type of grain husks used. Prosveration sources its grain husks locally from regional hulling mills, which reduces transport costs and emissions. Recou is currently available in Germany and Europe, and Prosveration plans to expand its market reach in the future.
