Releaf Paper Launches Pilot Production Line and Innovation Center in France

Releaf Paper, the world’s first manufacturer to produce sustainable pulp and paper from fallen leaves, has announced the launch of its pilot production line and Innovation Center in Les Mureaux, Île-de-France. This pioneering facility, co-funded by the European Union’s European Innovation Council (EIC), represents a €3.5 million total investment and marks a transformative shift in the paper industry by turning Parisian green waste into high-quality, recyclable packaging materials. The launch event is especially meaningful as Releaf Paper celebrates its third anniversary this year, a milestone underscoring the company’s rapid growth and innovation in the eco-packaging space.

“This is more than just a factory – it’s a statement that a city’s waste can be a vital resource,” emphasizes Alexander Sobolenko, CEO of Releaf Paper. “By transforming fallen leaves into pulp, we’re proving that sustainable materials can be locally sourced, high-quality, and scalable. Our pilot line here in France is just the beginning; we’re aiming to change the way the world thinks about waste and create a truly circular economy in the process.”
