What MBA Green does

MBA Green SAS is a France-headquartered sustainable packaging manufacturer founded in 2015 by Nicolas Dimitrescu, registered in Paris (Tax ID FR52898315817) and operationally based in Lyon. The company designs, produces, and distributes compostable and recyclable packaging products made from Kraft paper, cardboard, bamboo, sugarcane (bagasse), Biocarten (vegetable starch), and PLA bioplastics. Its compostable line is derived from food-industry waste processed into starch, protein, and fiber and plasticised with a bio-based material, compliant with the EU EN 13432 standard. Manufacturing is distributed across seven countries — Spain, Romania, China, Moldova, Ukraine, Slovakia, and Turkey — with sales offices in Lyon, Barcelona, and Hong Kong, and warehouses in Paris and Lyon.

The portfolio spans standard material lines (Kraft, cardboard, bamboo, sugarcane, Biocarten), a proprietary compostable offering, and the Farmapak sub-brand targeting biodegradable pharmaceutical packaging with its own farmapak.com site. Custom branding services (logos, hashtag printing, social-channel integration) are available across the catalogue. The company maintains an active blog covering EU packaging regulation (PPWR, EmpCo directive), compostability standards, and greenwashing rules.

MBA Green sells primarily direct-to-B2B through a Shopify storefront (mbagreen.net) and a dedicated client portal (mba-green-portal.vercel.app), supplemented by downloadable catalogues in English and Spanish and a direct sales team led by the co-founder. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke. Customers include enterprise food-service and retail chains such as Carrefour, Pitaya, Pokawa, TiT Foods, JFC International, TransGourmet, Flink, Conforama, and Palais des Thés, alongside smaller restaurants and logistics operators. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with roughly 12 internal team members spanning sales, logistics, procurement, operations, design, supply chain, and marketing.
