The Paper Packaging Company, a provider of sustainable packaging solutions, has outlined plans to extend its operations to the US in early March 2025.

With this move, the company aims to offer paper-based packaging alternatives aimed at reducing single-use plastics.

Over the last ten years, The Paper Packaging Company has been providing eco-friendly products such as paper cups, bags, food boxes, and other biodegradable solutions.

Initially focused on reducing plastic usage in Nigeria, the company now seeks to cater to a larger customer base in the US.

The company has stated that it will offer customisable paper bags and boxes with no minimum order quantity and no setup fee.

This policy aims to lower financial barriers for a diverse range of businesses, from small startups to well-established brands, encouraging them to switch to eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Clients will have the flexibility to add branding elements to their packaging, allowing for customised orders of varying sizes.

Despite the expansion, company representatives have confirmed that operations in Nigeria will continue as the new US base begins its concurrent run.

The forthcoming launch in the US will include a variety of packaging lines designed for restaurants, coffee shops, catering services, and other commercial uses.

The company is also considering future expansions into segments such as event management, retail, and fashion, where there is a demand for sustainable packaging options.

The Paper Packaging Company founder Chidi Oguegbu said: “This new chapter represents a significant milestone for The Paper Packaging Company.

“Establishing a presence in the US has been part of the strategy for many years, and it aligns with our vision to make sustainable packaging more widely available.

“It is an opportunity to share lessons learned, especially those regarding environmental responsibility, while also discovering innovative methods to serve diverse communities.”
