You never know when an opportunity will present itself!
Thank you for visiting my web site, www.eco-friendlypackaging.com. My name is Paul DeFruscio and for the past 11 years I have been working to develop packaging programs for companies in the retail and wholesale jewelry industry. Prior to this I have been involved in the jewelry industry as the owner of a manufacturing company, designer, purchasing manager and a manufacturer’s representative for 25 years.
As a sales professional, I know an opportunity when it presents itself. Such was the case on a trip to a trade show in Florida. While visiting a show, I always have my mind focused on any selling opportunity, but in addition I look for new concepts or materials that we can develop into a new packaging item. On the last day at this particular show, I walked by a booth, and was promptly “drawn into” it. While there I looked at the product that was being displayed, it was of no particular interest to me as I could not “see” it fitting into any product categories that I service. As I was leaving the booth I was told that all of the materials that were used to produce the products were recyclable. “Interesting” I thought, until I learned that all of the materials were made from “wood free” and the materials that were used were considered Agri-residue which was a renewable resource. It was at that point that my company Eco-Friendly Packaging was born.
Thanks again for your time and consideration in viewing my web site.

The Seeded Paper Project at Vartan Gregorian Elementary School
Students in grade 4 at the Vartan Gregorian Elementary School wanted to try to grow my seed embeded paper. I supplied the paper and the instructions, and the students did all of the work. Please follow the development of this project. When school closed in June, we moved the project to our home to continue to monitior the growth of the plant.
Step 1 Soaking the paper overnight
Step 2 Marigolds with one weeks growth
Step 3 This is the seed embedded paper after 1 months growth
Step 4 The plant needs to be repotted
Today is July 3, 2010 and the plant has been repotted, is out in the sun and it continues to grow, it currently measures 25cm or approximately 13 inches. A great example of the "sustainable" attributes of our papers
