Our Story

People, Purpose &
A Plastic-Free Promise

ETG ECO GREEN was founded on a simple conviction — that packaging shouldn't cost the earth. Here's the story of how we're turning that belief into everyday products.

Who We Are

A Small Team WithAn Outsized Mission

ETG ECO GREEN began with a straightforward question: why does something we use for minutes — a bag, a straw, a container — need to outlive us by centuries? That question became a company.

Today we design, manufacture and supply 100% plant-based packaging for households, restaurants and industry across the region — proving that sustainable materials can match, and often beat, the performance of conventional plastic.
