Agelgil Eco-Packaging
Agelgil Eco-packaging is a manufacturer of 100% tree-free hard paper and cardboard packaging based in Ethiopia. We cater to the sustainable packaging needs of local and continental enterprises, offering a range of products including paperboard, tubes, and egg trays.
Agelgil Eco-Packaging PLC is a dynamic enterprise established by young, committed innovative entrepreneurs from diverse expertise, aiming to revolutionize the packaging industry. Our focus lies in addressing the critical problem of packaging scarcity faced by local enterprises in Ethiopia and beyond. As a 100% tree-free packaging product manufacturer, we specialise in sustainable packaging products using agricultural by-products such as rice straw, wheat straw, and water hyacinth. Our product range includes paperboard, cups, plates, tubes, canisters, and egg trays, catering to the sustainable packaging demands of both local and continental enterprises.
At Agelgil Eco-Packaging, we have developed an innovative production process that is virtually zero waste, minimising environmental impact while maximising resource efficiency. By using abundantly available and underutilised agricultural by-products, we not only mitigate waste but also contribute to the preservation of natural resources. Through strategic partnerships with farmers, farmer unions, and research centres for raw material suppliers, we ensure a sustainable and reliable supply chain.
Looking ahead, Agelgil Eco-Packaging is poised to expand its reach and impact by scaling up production capacity and tapping into international markets. By leveraging our innovative production process and commitment to sustainability, we aim to become a leading provider of environmentally responsible packaging solutions globally. Our business model emphasises not only profitability but also social and environmental responsibility, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable practices in the packaging industry. Through our efforts, we aspire to inspire positive change and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
Our business model is centred around providing sustainable packaging solutions while generating revenue through the sale of our packaging product. Our revenue streams primarily come from selling these sustainable packaging products to local and continental enterprises. Furthermore, we explore opportunities for revenue diversification through strategic partnerships, value-added services, and expansion into new markets.
