About & Vision

Converting waste to best.

Carbon Negative closes two loops at once — the plastic packaging crisis and the rural burning of crop residue. We source rice-straw/parali from Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana & other's state farmers and refine it into compostable paper that rivals plastic on strength and moisture-resistance.

THE PROBLEM

Chapter 01 — The Air

Every autumn,a nation chokes.

Every autumn, millions of tons of parali are burned across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and neighboring agricultural states—sending a vast blanket of smoke across northern India like (Delhi facing air pollution) and creating a recurring public health and environmental crisis.

0 deaths / yr

Attributable to air pollution in India (upper bound)

Chapter 02 — The Ocean

Every year,an ocean fillswith plastic.

Packaging drives roughly forty percent of the world's plastic waste. Bans are tightening across the EU and North America — but scalable alternatives have been scarce.

Of global plastic waste comes from packaging

Chapter 03 — The Overlooked Gold

The waste that burnsis the raw materialthe world needs.

Every year, over 150 million tons of rice straw are burned or discarded across Asia—not because it lacks value, but because its high silica content has made it economically difficult to convert into quality paper. Our lab-validated process changes that.

Rice straw wasted across Asia every year

Chapter 04 — The Turning Point

Two crises,one material,one answer.

Our innovation transforms a pollution problem into an industrial resource. By unlocking rice straw as a high-performance fiber, we create sustainable packaging that benefits farmers, brands, and the planet—without compromising performance.

A New Chapter

What was smokebecomes paper.

Carbon Negative rewires the incentive: farmers earn, air clears, plastic retreats. This is what the solution looks like.

Discover the Solution

Our Solution

Green chemistry meets industrial-grade paper.

A six-step, farm-to-shelf process that transforms waste into premium packaging — with every input either recycled or fully compostable.

Collect

Partner with farmers to gather post-harvest straw — an income stream, not a burn pile.

Pretreat

Gentle alkali at 90–95°C removes silica, freeing cellulose fibers for bonding.

Pulp

Closed-loop pulping at ~85% efficiency with minimal NaOH & full water recycling.

Form

Sheets pressed up to 300+ GSM — thick enough for premium retail packaging.

Waterproof

Biodegradable wax & rosin sizing deliver moisture resistance without plastic.

Deliver

Bags, boxes, rolls, and mailers — ready for food, cosmetics, and e-commerce brands.

OUR INNOVATION

Natural polymers,
Waste straw/prali,
Zero plastic.

Rice straw's / parali open microporous structure and low lignin

content make it easily pulpable — once silica is removed.

Our proprietary blend of alkali pretreatment, plant-based

binders and rosin sizing unlocks this fiber at industrial yield.

Silica removal

NaOH pretreatment at 90–95°C dissolves 10–15% silica, freeing cellulose for hydrogen bonding.

Step 01 · of 04

Natural additives

CMC & starch bind fibers; rosin & beeswax provide water resistance — zero plastics.

Step 02 · of 04

Closed-loop process

Water and mild alkali recovered and reused across cycles for near-zero effluent.

Step 03 · of 04

Lab-validated

Tensile strength, GSM & burst tests confirm packaging-grade performance.
