The Stuttgart-based start-up Proservation, a manufacturer of ecological packaging solutions based on grain husks, has successfully completed its seed financing round and received seven-digit capital. The aim is to put its own demonstration plant into operation this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a financing model as part of the InnoGrowth BW programme<\/strong> L-Bank Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg has provided the company with fresh capital in the seven-figure range: Proservation is probably the first industrially orientated hardware start-up ever to successfully implement a financing concept at this level and early stage that corresponds to the principles of steward-ownership. A model was chosen that focuses on long-term values instead of short-term exit logic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to produce the natural packaging material Recou on an industrial scale for the first time, Proservation is planning to to put its own demonstration plant into operation this year<\/strong>. It forms the basis for a Scalable production of biogenic packaging solutions<\/strong> - with the goal, replace conventional plastics such as polystyrene in large quantities wherever possible in future<\/strong>. By utilising residual materials from grain processing, Proservation pursues a consistently cycle-oriented approach and sets new impulses in the direction of a bio-economic circular packaging industry.<\/p>

Founded in November 2022, the start-up develops natural cushioning materials made from grain husks - the husks of cereal grains - which serve as an ecological alternative to conventional protective packaging such as polystyrene. The innovative material Recou is completely bio-based, compostable and produced regionally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Financing was provided by the programme's accredited intermediary EurA Venture GmbH, which has a Investor consortium of experienced business angels and strategic partners<\/strong> of the start-up. The consortium reflects a strategically sound alliance along the industrial value chain.<\/p>
