Avantium is revolutionizing sustainable materials with plant-based, fossil-free plastic, or PEF—an innovation that outperforms polyester and rewrites the rules of packaging, fabrics and many more applications. But for breakthrough science to change the plastics game, it needs a brand that moves. Enter Releaf: a name, identity, and strategy built to take PEF from the lab to the global stage.
We worked hand-in-hand with Avantium’s leadership, aligning every department and ambition into a rock-solid brand strategy. Through workshops and collaborative sessions, we shaped a narrative that’s more than B2B—one that inspires manufacturers, resonates with consumers, and champions sustainability at every level.
A name sets the tone. It sparks recognition, emotion, and trust. Releaf is more than a name—it’s a mission. A promise to relieve the planet of fossil plastics through plant-based innovation. Our proven naming process distilled Avantium’s vision into a brand that’s relatable, powerful, and built to own the space.
Now live, Releaf isn’t just another sustainable material—it’s a category-defining force. The new brand features an optimistic color palette, organic shapes, and a collaboration-friendly layout system, ensuring both innovation and adaptability for long-term success. The bold, generated photography captures its forward-thinking spirit, making an impact with brands like Carlsberg, LVMH, and Pangaia. A manifesto, a distinctive visual and verbal identity, a digital home, and AI-powered brand assets—everything is in place to scale.
Big ideas need a solid foundation and tactical creativity. If you're a sustainability brand looking to secure funding, nail your positioning, or name your next breakthrough—we’ve got you.
