Green Success Stories sat down with Abdurrahman (Abdu) Bejjaj, CEO and Founder of Ignition Packaging. Abdu’s interest in fighting plastic pollution started early on, when he created biodegradable plastic from milk at his school science fair. At 18 he conducted a full-scale research project analyzing cellulose-based films. Now, at 21, he is the founder and CEO of Ignition Packaging, a sustainable materials company dedicated to revolutionizing the packaging industry with biodegradable plastic derived from agricultural waste and plant-based plasticizers. Abdu sees a future where, led by individual action and innovative technology from Ignition Packaging, sustainable packaging is readily available, economically smart, and in fact, the norm.
