What Greenprint does

Greenprint manufactures and distributes sustainable disposable foodservice packaging built on a proprietary upcycled agave fiber composite technology. Founded in 2019 by Alfredo and Patricio in Monterrey, Mexico, the company recovers agave fibers as a byproduct of tequila production in Jalisco, Mexico, and combines them with biopolymers (PHAs, PHBs) and post-consumer recycled plastics to produce compostable and recycled-blend foodware. An enzyme masterbatch formulation extends compostability to backyard/home composting environments. The product portfolio is organized across five collections: Upcycled Agave (Green Dot compostable line and Blue Dot recycled-blend line), Fiberware (sugarcane bagasse-based plates, bowls, and clamshells), Renewacups (home compostable paper cups launched in 2024), Clearly Compostable (PLA clear cups), and Recycled (50%+ post-consumer recycled products). All compostable products carry BPI and/or TÜV Austria certifications, and all are PFAS-free.

The business operates a vertically integrated manufacturing model from raw material compounding through finished product at the 54,000 square foot GP2 facility in Monterrey, which consolidates extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, and compounding under one roof, with 40% of facility power sourced from wind. Greenprint sells primarily through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (greenprintproducts.com) and a dedicated Business Portal for commercial buyers, with distribution centers in Norcross, Georgia and Arizona, and field sales representatives in Miami, New York, and Las Vegas. Shipping extends to the continental United States and Canada. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of bulk-packaged disposables (e.g., 2000-count straw cases priced $68.99-$79.99, 600-count cup cases at $84.99), targeting foodservice operators, beverage service providers, and multi-location chains. Named enterprise customers include Costco (Green Dot cutlery at LA and Hawaii retail), an assisted living facility, and an unspecified hotel. The company is founder-owned, structured as Greenprint LLC, with no institutional funding rounds disclosed.
