The startup experience of Green Plastic was like a roller coaster ride—exciting, thrilling, with ups and downs.
In a country like Pakistan where the bioplastic market does not yet exist, running such a venture poses significant challenges.
Green Plastic’s startup journey has been featured in two notable newsletters, The Friday Times and The Heinrich Böll Stiftung.
In these articles, the founder of Green Plastic, Maria Qayyum, discusses the difficulties of scaling up a product from lab scale to industrial level and the potential role of the government in this process.
She emphasizes the need for Pakistan to tap into its significant potential for producing raw materials, being an agrarian country with substantial agricultural waste that could be utilized to develop bio-based products and secure a notable share in the global bioplastic market.
