Overview

Join the Young Professionals of the Americas as we spotlight Exequiel Bunge, Founder and CEO of growPack, to learn more about his sustainable and eco-friendly packaging products. As the business puts it, growPack believes that “consumption can be an act of conscience and that our actions, united, are capable of regenerating entire ecosystems.”

This program marks the second edition of YPA’s Innovator Spotlight series, where we feature young leaders who bring new approaches and solutions to real-world issues across all sectors. The conversation will be facilitated by YPA's Luisa Horwitz.

This event is free and open to YPA and AS/COA members only. The event will be held in English.

About growPack:

Launched in 2018 and born out of a business school entrepreneurship accelerator program in Argentina, growPack connects natural potential with urgent consumption needs. Bunge and his team built a sustainable packaging product using regenerative technology with lignin and cellulose, both plant substances. growPack aims to transform our food systems with traceability and transparency as basic principles, and decentralized, practical, and competitive solutions.

growPack declares, “We believe that this is the foundation for solving systemic problems and that can only be done by starting from the most basic and essential: From plants, ending with plants.”
