Construction commences in the southern district of Hamburg for Traceless' manufacturing plant

In a significant step towards sustainable and environmentally friendly production, the German startup Traceless has received a substantial amount of funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in 2023. This funding will support Traceless in its mission to produce plastic alternatives from agricultural waste.

Based in Hamburg, Tracless is at the forefront of the green, bio-based industry. The company's innovative approach involves manufacturing natural plastic alternatives, setting a significant milestone in the pursuit of a more sustainable future. Their website, traceless.eu, provides more information about their work.

Traceless has chosen the Großmoorbogen in Hamburg-Harburg as its first production site. With an annual production capacity planned to reach several thousand tons by 2025, the startup is poised to make a considerable impact in the plastic industry.

The Otto Group was Traceless's first pilot customer in 2021, a testament to the startup's promising potential. Traceless's commitment to sustainable business practices and resource-efficient production resonates with the Otto Group's own initiatives, making for a harmonious partnership.

Another Hamburg-based startup, Wildplastic, is also involved in this venture. In fact, the Otto Group has switched to using Wildplastic for shipping bags, as reported in the article "Otto Fully Switches to Wildplastic for Shipping Bags".

Traceless's focus extends beyond films and packaging, as they also produce food packaging from biomass. The company's future plans include taking over the building of the traditional Backhaus Wedemann, further solidifying its roots in Hamburg.

In recognition of its groundbreaking work, Traceless was named one of the finalists for the Future Hamburg Award 2021. The startup's receipt of funding for its plastic alternative production is yet another feather in its cap, propelling it towards a greener and more sustainable future.

This article marks an exploration of Startup Traceless and its plastic alternative production, a promising venture that could revolutionise the plastic industry and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
