Repaq

What Repaq does

Repaq is the consumer-facing brand of Superseven GmbH, a privately held German materials company founded in 2017 and operating from Börnsen (registered), Hamburg (primary operations), and Berlin. It develops, produces, and supplies plastic-free, certified home- and garden-compostable flexible packaging films for the European food industry. The core product is Repaq Cellulose, a proprietary blend of cellulose (sourced from FSC/PEFC-certified residual and waste wood), starch, sugar, and oils, available as mono, 2-layer, and 3-layer films with configurable oxygen and water-vapor barriers. A granted MOSH/MOAH barrier patent extends shelf-life protection to 70 months at room temperature by preventing mineral-oil contaminant migration into food.

The portfolio spans raw roll stock and finished packaging formats — Doypacks, Stickpacks, and application-specific packs for cheese, dry foods, bars, baby food, supplements, fruit and vegetables, chocolate, pet food, frozen goods, and tea. All films, papers, closures, inks, and adhesives are certified compostable (TÜV Home & Garden Compostable, EN 13432, AS 5810:2010, NF T51-800:2015, DIN Certco, Plastic Free Trustmark) and tested annually by Fraunhofer Institute and TÜV; ISO 9001 was obtained in January 2024.

Repaq sells B2B on a quote-based model with a 1,000 kg minimum order (roughly 100,000 DIN A4 flat bags) and 10–14 week lead times, primarily through a website-based Packaging Configurator targeting enterprise food brands. A small e-commerce store offers standard Doypacks and Seedpaq samples for smaller customers and consumers. Distribution covers Germany, Austria, the broader EU, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK. Anchor customers include Lidl (cheese packaging launched 2024), Huober Brezel, Active Nutrition, and Keimling Naturkost; a long tail of mostly small organic, vegan, and startup food brands (Nucao, yamo, Biogros, Dr. Mannah's, Paecco, SoulBites, Pure Tea, Demeter Sannmann) makes up the rest of the book. GTM combines direct B2B sales, presence at packaging and sustainability trade shows (BioFach, Packaging Innovations & Empack, Plastic Free World Conference), content marketing through the "Very Compostable" blog, and crowdfunding rounds via Companisto.

Revenue model

1. Compostable Packaging Materials: Repaq generates revenue through the sale of plastic-free, compostable flexible packaging films and pre-made bags (Doypacks, flat bags, etc.) primarily to food industry companies. Products are sold in roll form or as finished packaging with minimum orders of 1,000 kg. Lead time is 10-14 weeks.
2. Custom Packaging Solutions: B2B enterprise sales of customized compostable packaging for specific applications (cheese, dry foods, bars, baby food, supplements, frozen goods, tea, pet food, chocolate, fruits & vegetables). Companies work through a configuration tool to specify dimensions, barrier properties, printing requirements.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• BASF (ecovio): BASF's ecovio is a certified compostable PLA/PBAT blend used in food packaging films and bags; a large diversified chemical incumbent offering a competing compostable film solution in the same addressable market.
• NatureWorks (Ingeo PLA): US-based global leader in PLA biopolymers (Ingeo) used widely in compostable food packaging films; a broader incumbent in the same end-use segment where Repaq's cellulose-only positioning is an alternative.
• Sealed Air: Global packaging incumbent with a growing sustainable and compostable flexible packaging portfolio serving food brands and retailers; overlaps with Repaq in food-contact flexible films but at far greater scale and geographic reach.
• Amcor: Global packaging major with a strong sustainable flexibles franchise and food-industry customer base; competes with Repaq for the same enterprise food-brand accounts even though its portfolio is broader and not compostable-specialized.
• Novamont (Mater-Bi): Italian bioplastics major behind Mater-Bi compostable bioplastic resins used in films, bags and food-contact applications; competes with Repaq in the compostable food packaging space but at much larger scale and with a broader bioplastic portfolio.

Direct peers

• Futamura: Japanese cellulose film manufacturer (NatureFlex) and Repaq's co-development partner for compostable sachets; competes directly in the same compostable cellulose-based film category and shares the food-packaging and home-compostable value proposition.
• Notpla: UK-based Notpla makes seaweed- and plant-based compostable packaging, including flexible films and sachets for food and beverage, making it a direct comparable as a small, venture-backed European challenger in plastic-free flexible packaging.
• FKuR (Bio-Flex): German bioplastics compounder Bio-Flex, also part of the Futamura Group, sells compostable and bio-based film and packaging grades competing head-on with Repaq's cellulose films in the European market.
• TIPA: Israel-based TIPA develops fully compostable flexible packaging films and laminates for food and fashion, the same core product category as Repaq's cellulose films, targeting CPG and food brands that need home/industrial compostable alternatives to conventional plastic.

Emerging players

• Saperatec: German cleantech company developing cellulose-based and recyclable multilayer film solutions; an emerging European player in the same cellulose and food-packaging materials space where Repaq is positioned.
