We have built a fully integrated, closed-loop value chain designed to convert Africa’s most regenerative crop—industrial hemp—into a high-value, scalable solution: biodegradable bioplastics. Our model is vertically aligned, intentionally inclusive, regionally relevant, and globally competitive.
We believe true sustainability begins at the source and extends all the way to the consumer. That is why Regreen controls every critical point along the chain: from seed distribution and farmer support to raw material aggregation, processing, product formulation, and finally distribution and sales. This integration not only maximizes efficiency and traceability—it ensures we deliver high-impact products that reflect both environmental stewardship and social equity.
Our value chain begins with the right genetics. Regreen collaborates with certified seed suppliers to ensure that all industrial hemp varieties meet local regulatory standards for THC content, climatic suitability, and biomass yield. These seeds are then distributed to registered smallholder farmers under formalized agreements and with agronomic support.
This enables:
Standardization of raw material quality
Traceable origin of plant inputs
Support for seed security in the region
We partner with a growing network of smallholder farmers in Malawi—many of whom are integrating hemp into their crop rotation to regenerate degraded soils and diversify their income. Farmers receive:
Onboarding and compliance training
Agronomic extension services
Guaranteed offtake contracts
By anchoring cultivation at the grassroots level, Regreen promotes rural livelihoods while ensuring consistent access to raw biomass for processing. This inclusive approach forms the foundation of our shared-value model.
Once harvested, hemp biomass is aggregated at regional collection hubs—each equipped with drying, shredding, and basic quality inspection infrastructure. Materials are then transported to our central processing facility in Mzuzu.
Here we:
Evaluate moisture content and cellulose concentration
Sort input materials by use case (e.g., stalks for cellulose, hurd for packaging blends)
Reduce transport waste through preprocessing
This ensures operational efficiency and product consistency across our production line.
At the heart of the value chain is our bioplastics factory—where raw hemp biomass is transformed into high-performance, biodegradable plastic materials. Using mechanical and chemical processing, we extract and refine hemp cellulose, then blend it with natural additives in twin-screw extruders to produce:
Bioplastic pellets (B2B)
Molded packaging products (B2C)
Compostable tableware
Each stage is designed for modularity, scalability, and quality assurance, with rigorous QA/QC processes and plans for ISO certification.
Finished products are then routed to target markets via our East African corridor. We’re forging partnerships with:
Food distributors and FMCGs (for packaging)
Institutional buyers (hotels, government procurement)
Local and international retailers
Export brokers (via COMESA & EAC platforms)
Our model leverages logistics hubs in Kenya and Tanzania, linking rural production to urban and regional demand—ensuring the final loop of the value chain closes with market penetration, environmental impact, and economic return.
