About Us

Greenili was started from the need for high quality but affordable seed paper that would encourage more pollinators like bees and butterflies.

We searched far and wide for the perfect paper and sadly most of what we found was either too expensive, not available in large quantities, didn’t have enough seeds in, couldn’t be printed on and/or just didn’t grow! 

We decided to have a paper custom made for us to solve these issues. We work with a company in India who use traditional techniques and hand make each of our sheets from recycled waste cotton. They offer training to people in rural communities and have won both environmental and community development awards. We have the paper shipped by sea to avoid air miles and offset our carbon emissions.

Having our paper handmade means that the seeds do not get crushed or over-heated so germination rates are excellent!
