ABOUT GRINOVE FAMILY

Our Foundation: Mission & Vision

We started with a simple yet powerful idea: What if packaging could work in harmony with nature, not against it?

It all began in 2021 with our Co-Founder Mustafa Can, whose passion for biomaterials during his undergraduate studies sparked the vision of turning agricultural by-products into valuable, sustainable materials. We dove into the world of research and development and developed over 300 unique recipes for nature-friendly biomaterials that laid the foundation for Grinove’s journey.

Mustafa Can, with his expertise in product design, plays a pivotal role in shaping Grinove’s offerings. He designs our products with Material-Driven Product design strategies, ensuring they are not only functional but also align with our core values of sustainability and innovation.

As the team expanded, Irmak Çağlayanel brought a perspective-shifting approach to scaling our innovations for the global stage. With her expertise in business development in biotechnology, we ensured that every creation was built to grow sustainably, leaving a positive international impact.

Meanwhile, Tuncay Avcı, with his deep understanding of biomaterials, plans the life cycles of our products, carefully developing biomaterial formulations during the production stage. His approach ensures that every product is not only sustainable but also optimized for long-term environmental impact.

When it came time to take our research and turn it into something real, Ayberk Avcı’s engineering skills helped us transform our biotechnological studies into a fully functioning production system. His work ensured that our innovations could be produced on a large scale while staying true to our commitment to sustainability.

Selen Atar, played a critical role in making sure we stayed aligned with the regulations of the markets we wanted to reach. Her experience navigating international regulations made it possible for us to refine our processes and develop a business model that met global standards while keeping our environmental footprint low.

Lastly, Alper Hidayet Parlak, helped us connect with the people who matter most: the consumers. Through his digital marketing expertise, we’ve been able to spread the word about our mission and build a community of like-minded, environmentally conscious individuals who support our journey.

Today, Grinove is not just a company; it’s the result of a shared vision, dedication, and the hard work of a team determined to make a difference in the world. Together, we’re creating sustainable, high-performance biomaterials that help pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.
