Eska® Leaf

Material innovation meets nature

Luxury packaging Perfect Lamination Eco Efficient Leaf-based

A recycled solid board made from recycled paper and laminated with paper containing fibres derived from actual fallen leaves collected from urban streets.

Available with a white or deep brown surface, each base enhances the natural texture and subtle variations of the leaf fibres, creating a distinctive premium finish.

The combination of recycled paper and leaf fibres contributes to the board’s rigidity and strength, delivering reliable performance across demanding packaging applications.

By giving fallen leaves a valuable new life instead of letting them become waste, Eska® Leaf and Eska® Dark Leaf transform an overlooked natural material into a premium packaging solution designed for multiple lives.

Giving fallen leaves a new purpose

Every autumn, cities collect large quantities of fallen leaves as urban green waste. RELEAF has developed material technology that transforms this natural resource into leaf-paper, preserving its distinctive appearance and texture. For ESKA Leaf and ESKA Dark Leaf, this material is laminated onto ESKA recycled solid board, giving an existing waste stream a new purpose while demonstrating another approach to material circularity and sustainable packaging innovation.
