Realizing that the packaging and paper industry needed disruption, envoPAP was incorporated as a revolution towards the use of more sustainable materials.

As our first product, envoCOPY represented the beginning of a world that did not create unnecessary pollution and deforestation by giving agricultural waste a second life. It remains our flagship product till date.

This Paperworld Exhibition in Frankfurt marked our first public appearance and was the beginning of our journey in disrupting the paper and packaging industry.

envoPAP’s second anniversary was celebrated through a research trip to the Scandinavian region. We analysed different kinds of pulp to best optimize our own agro-pulp and its applications to various materials. This inspired the launch of envoPAP Open Research, an open framework for developing products of the future .

This was our first venture outside Europe, in Kenya. This marked our foray into Africa, a continent that embraced us with open arms and put us on the path to becoming a global brand.

Powered by the Impact Investment Network, we were selected to pitch at the GreenTech Challenge and ended up a finalist. We weren’t disappointed at all because there are no losers in Green Tech!

We took a trip to Egypt, in order to understand how paper was made in ancient times. By then, we had already created a paper for the future, but the Papyrus Institute inspired us to build a different bridge from the past to the future. We began considering completely new applications for paper.

Kaushal received his first ever award at the JITOPRENEURS Business Achievement Awards 2018, presented by KPMG and the Jain International Trade Organisation (JITO). Naturally, this award occupies a special place on his wall.

On 17th March 2020, we started fundraising on Crowdcube, the UK’s leading platform. We were overwhelmed by the faith shown in us by strangers, who became members of our family. With the help of their investments, we were able to innovate, expand and educate. Especially during the worst pandemic in recorded history, we thank all our envoHEROES for their belief in us.

Filled with stories of innovation, fascinating interviews of industry experts and our annual impact report, the magazine symbolised our aspiration to develop and implement sustainable solutions and practises across all of our business activities for the collective good of our global society.

As the pandemic continued, and businesses around the world slowed, we decided to take this time to revisit, re-evaluate and revise our systems to ensure they are in the best condition. With the help of AvISO Consulting and the NQA team, we managed to go through one of the most rigorous processes and came out a stronger company.

Making envoCOPY available on popular platforms, we wanted to empower individuals to change the way they operate by taking up the responsibility to become more sustainable themselves.
