Ben Grant and Josh Kempton started Grounded Packaging in 2019 with the intent of shifting the world away from a ‘single-use’ economy to a ‘circular economy’ where everything that is used is 100% recyclable, reusable, and/or compostable. Grounded Packaging aim to be one of the leading global supply platforms for sustainable packaging in food and e-commerce. 

Grounded’s initial focus is primarily on the flexible packaging  market. Their focus is specifically on replacing traditional unrecyclable oil-based films with bio-based, certified compostable films. This product set represents an exciting opportunity to move away from traditional plastics and create a materially productive end of life organic recycling stream.

They are building a radically transparent sourcing and facilitation tool for SME’s who are traditionally overwhelmed by supply chain choices. Grounded help them understand and purchase sustainable packaging solutions and plastic alternatives. The platform allows businesses to move towards a functional circular economy and ultimately to ‘leave nothing behind.’
