Since childhood, sustainability and design have shaped my perspective. After spending two years in Peru working on design, e-commerce, and product marketing, I returned to Türkiye to focus on innovative and compostable packaging solutions. Under my leadership, Packoroma has grown into a nature-driven packaging innovation brand, directly receiving European Union funding through the New European Bauhaus initiative and gaining recognition through the UNIDO ONE World Sustainability Awards, FutureLab 2025 by Habitat Association, Standard Chartered Bank and Youth Business International, and its UNIDO Solution Partner recognition. Our work has also been featured in the Innovation Gallery in Milan and recognized by the World Brand Design Society. Beyond recognition programs, we have worked with and contributed to initiatives alongside the Zero Waste Foundation, under the honorary presidency of First Lady Emine Erdoğan, UNICEF, and Yeşil İş Platformu.
