Packaging You Can Trust: Food-Grade, Plant-Based, Compostable, & Proudly Made in the USA

About Us

Our Story

Welcome to NextGen Bioplastics. We are a family-run, sustainability-focused food-packaging manufacturer with a goal of replacing traditional petroleum-based plastics with health-conscious, earth-friendly plant-based solutions. 

 

Born from a rich family legacy of American paper manufacturing excellence, NextGen Bioplastics is the evolution of the Shahrooz family's commitment to innovation and quality. With over three decades of experience in building successful industrial enterprises and a deep understanding of large-scale production, we are now channeling our expertise to tackle one of the world's most pressing environmental challenges: plastic pollution.

 

At our state-of-the-art facility in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, we are pioneering the future of packaging with advanced hemp-based biopolymers, making our products safer for your health and the planet. By producing high-quality and sustainable foodservice packaging solutions that are proudly made in the USA from locally-farmed resources, we contribute to the circular economy and our community. At NextGen, we're not just making bioplastics; we're building a greener tomorrow, one package at a time.

“Our mission is to create sustainable packaging solutions that are safe for people and the planet. By creating American-made, food-grade packaging that is plant-based, biodegradable, and compostable, we empower businesses to make environmentally responsible choices without compromising quality."
