We are proud to announce that Grinove Materials has become the World Champion in the 2024 JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur (CYE) Competition, making history as Türkiye’s First compostable packaging manufacturer to achieve this global recognition.
Our journey began with first place in JCI CYE Türkiye, leading us to the European Championship at the JCI European Conference 2024 in Oulu, Finland. Representing our country on the world stage at the JCI CYE World Final in Taoyuan, Taiwan, we proudly won the Creative Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, marking a major milestone for both our company and Türkiye’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This achievement validates our vision of producing compostable packaging free from tree-based fibers and toxic components by valorizing agricultural byproducts from annual crops such as wheat and barley. With our innovative and nature-friendly solutions, we are taking another step toward a sustainable future.
Throughout this journey, we connected with +5,000 people from over 80 countries, expanding our global business network and opening doors to new partnerships, investment opportunities, and collaborations. This incredible experience has further strengthened our commitment to sustainable innovation.
We look forward to continuing this journey, driving change, and innovating together for a better future!
