Company Description: Green Nuts L.L.C. is an environmentally motivated company looking to eliminate polystyrene from landfills and oceans everywhere. Our revolutionary paper packing peanut, the Green Nut, is the alternative that the shipping industry needs. Couriers around the world deliver nearly 25 million packages each day! If each box has just one piece of polystyrene in it, there are 25 million pieces going straight to the landfill. It is Green Nuts goal to put an end to this waste. Our 100% recyclable and biodegradable packing peanut is going to completely change the way large wholesalers and distributors look at their carbon footprint. he Idea The Green Nuts story begins with the 2014 GEW DECA idea challenge. The challenge asks students to repurpose a product such as plastic bags or soda cans. During the 2014 challenge, students were tasked with finding a feasible and franchisable solution for recycled newspaper. Our team brainstormed together to come up with an alternative to polystyrene shipping material using paper. We partnered up with another student and created our 3 minute entry video into the contest. More than 6,000 students from six different countries entered an idea into the contest. Green Nuts was recognized as one of the top six videos in the world. Two very long weeks later, our post-consumer paper products were chosen as the Global Winner! Almost instantaneously we started hearing from a wide range of people congratulating us on the first place finish. They wanted to hear the story and ask us an assortment of questions. It was after the many congratulations that we decided it was time to turn this from an idea into a business. We had work to do!
