Founder’s story
Greenful is a business born of a problem, too much textile waste in the world and no way to dispose of it. The idea started when one of our founders Toomas Allikas was experimenting with different waste materials in a climate kic program.
Textile waste was one stubborn problem without any solution but Toomas found an answer and the Greenful panel was invented! Today Greenful is still one of the very few real solutions to the millions of tons of textile waste in the world. We dedicate our lives to solving the textile waste problem and using the same innovative approach to defeat other waste issues globally

Once our European business has been established we aim to expand to the US and Asia, where the waste amounts are higher and our opportunity to have a positive impact is greater. We continually reassess our operations to maximize the use of waste in our products, minimize any negative impact on the environment and contribute to a better world.
