Varden
Create and commercialize sustainable materials to enrich our world
Our shared future needs to be sustainable. We focus on finding sustainable solutions to modern packaging problems. Varden’s core technologies all rely on the use of natural moulded pulp fiber to create sustainable, beautiful and high performing packaging for global consumer foodstuffs. Nature prototypes constantly and given time can provide a solution to the most challenging problems. Our materials are all naturally derived and, as in nature, the structure of our materials create the solution. Our solutions deliver the performance we need today while preserving and enriching our world for tomorrow. Our biomaterial sources come from agricultural residue, not waste, as nature doesn’t produce waste. We repurpose these natural fibres to provide enhanced properties, but we ensure that nature still recognizes them as her own.
