We Won! RAIKU Takes Home the Avant-Garde Award for Innovative Materials at Milan Packaging Week!

Woop! Our 100% natural packaging material just won the Avant-Garde Award for Innovative Materials category at Packaging Première & PCD Milan! 🏆

Avant-Garde is where the future of packaging gets its spotlight. It’s a special showcase at Packaging Première & PCD Milan 2025, where the most forward-thinking packaging projects of the year are featured. An expert jury selects standout work in three categories—Sustainability, Design, and Innovative Materials. It’s the perfect place to meet the creators behind the ideas, get inspired, and maybe even spark your next big packaging project.

At RAIKU, we’re all about creating packaging that’s kind to the planet. Our material is made entirely from natural sources—it’s compostable, safe, and highly protective. It looks great, works well, and doesn’t harm the environment. No harsh chemicals, no plastic, and way less deforestation—10 times less, to be exact. 🌱

Even though the packaging industry is worth around €1 trillion, it still relies heavily on polluting materials. And even with Europe aiming to recycle 70% of packaging by 2030, around 30 million tonnes of waste will still be left behind each year. That’s why we believe solutions like ours are more important than ever.

We’re really proud that our material will be showcased in the Avant-Garde section at Packaging Première & PCD Milan, Paris Packaging Week & London Packaging Week.
