Karibou: a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics

Karibou, based in Sant Cugat, Spain, is revolutionizing packaging with biodegradable, plant-based solutions that replace single-use plastics. Their innovative process uses 100% renewable energy and eliminates toxic glues and plastic films.

Supplying major brands like LIDL, ALDI, and Heineken, Karibou is scaling up with support from an EU-guaranteed loan backed by the EIF under the InvestEU programme.

By expanding production and investing in R&D, Karibou is proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand, helping drive the transition to a plastic-free future.
