Hamburg's Traceless Wins German Founders Award for Biodegradable Packaging

Hamburg-based startup Traceless has made waves in the sustainable packaging industry, winning the German Founders Award 2022 in the 'Startup 2022' category for its innovative bioplastic. The company, founded in 2020 by Dr. Anne Lamp and economist Johanna Baare, produces biodegradable packaging that decomposes naturally.

Traceless' journey began with support from 'Calls for Transfer' of Hamburg Innovation. The startup has since gained recognition, winning the Future Hamburg Award in 2021 and now the German Founders Award. Its success is a testament to Hamburg's growing startup hub, which offers a wide range of industries, good networking, and a thriving knowledge-based ecosystem.

Traceless' innovation lies in its versatile, fully compostable pca made from food production leftovers. The production process is relatively affordable and is being expanded. This comes at a crucial time, as plastic production has significantly increased in recent decades, leading to a surge in ocean plastic waste.

Traceless' award-winning pca is set to make a significant impact on the packaging industry. With a new industrial plant scheduled to open by the end of 2023, capable of producing up to 500 tons monthly, the company is poised to revolutionize the way we think about plastic waste. While the details of its initial investments remain private, Traceless' successive awards and growth indicate a bright future for this innovative startup.
