Pepaa (formerly Plantcil) is a social enterprise enabling brands and zero waste lifestylers to transition to sustainable stationery and packaging. In late 2017, we started Plantcil as our reference to our first product - Plant in a pencil. We made plantable seed pencils made from 100% recycled paper and newspapers that will sprout after use. With incredible reception to our initiative, we started making other pencil variants, including newspaper pencils, rainbow pencils and even fruit pencils from recycled and handmade paper. Once we gained traction with the plantable pencils, we realized that the complete stationery gamut across the world has huge potential for a dose of sustainability. Which is then that we started exploring how we could make pens out of recycled paper/cardboard - our first attempt at a zero-plastic pen resulted in 75% lesser plastic. We were one of the pioneers across the world to introduce seed pens that could be planted after use - brands absolutely loved to flaunt the new recycled cardboard pens and asked us if we could make other stationery items. And boy, did we rise to the challenge! Over the course of the next few months, Plantcil went from just being a pencil company to becoming a full-stack sustainable stationery company, making products from recycled and handmade paper - all the way from notebooks, coasters, wine tags, roster sheets, event invites, table tents, bookmarks to even plantable seed packaging for the biggest of brands across the world! We even did a one-up on the plantable pens by going from 75% lesser plastic to India’s first automated 95% lesser plastic pen production (sans the refill, everything in the pen body is recycled paper)! At Pepaa, we offer full-stack sustainability solutions for brands to manage their paper waste and get exotic upcycled stationery and packaging done.
