Papercut, Qatar’s leading sustainable packaging manufacturer and a long-standing partner of Qatar Development Bank (QDB), is proud to announce the acquisition of a 60% stake in Enavra, a pioneering local company specializing in advanced bio-plastic materials.

This strategic acquisition represents a major step forward in Papercut’s mission to accelerate sustainable packaging solutions in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030, particularly its pillars of environmental development, resource efficiency, and building a circular, knowledge driven economy.

Driving Sustainable Transformation for Qatar

Qatar faces an increasing national challenge around waste and plastic pollution. As businesses and  communities demand more responsible materials, bio-plastics will play a critical role in reducing environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable future. 

Through this acquisition, Papercut is positioning itself — and Qatar — at the forefront of innovation by investing in locally manufactured biodegradable and compostable materials that address real environmental needs.

A New Chapter of Growth, R&D, and National Impact
Under Enbat Group’s leadership, Papercut has grown into a key driver of sustainable manufacturing. Bringing Enavra under the Papercut umbrella will:
• Fast-track the development of bio-plastic alternatives that reduce national waste
• Strengthen Qatar’s local manufacturing capabilities
• Expand R&D collaborations with universities and innovation centers
• Support the country’s transition to a circular, low-waste economy
• Empower Qatar’s ambition to become a regional benchmark for sustainable industries

Ghanim Al-Sulaiti, Founder of Enbat Group and Papercut, stated:
“Enavra represents the future of bio-plastics in the region, and bringing them into Papercut allows us to scale that future faster. With the support of QDB and our continuous investment in innovation, we are ready to take Enavra to the next level, expanding production, strengthening research, and delivering sustainable solutions that can compete globally. This acquisition aligns directly with Qatar National Vision 2030, especially our responsibility to reduce waste and build circular systems. Packaging must become part of the solution, not the
problem, and through innovation, we can lead that change. Our ambition is clear: to become the region’s leader in bio-plastic manufacturing.”

Saoud Al-Emadi, CEO & Founder of Enavra, shared:
“Today marks an important milestone for Enavra. Our partnership with Papercut is more than an acquisition, it is a shared commitment to building the future of sustainable materials in Qatar. Since the beginning, Enavra was created to offer locally developed bio-plastic solutions that reduce reliance on traditional plastics and support a cleaner, more conscious way of producing and consuming. Joining forces with Papercut allows us to scale that vision in ways we couldn’t achieve alone. Papercut’s experience, infrastructure, and leadership in sustainable packaging will accelerate our growth, expand our research capabilities, and enable us to bring high-performance bio-plastic products to the market faster. With the support of QDB and Qatar’s growing innovation ecosystem, we are ready for the next chapter. Together, Enavra and Papercut will invest in local manufacturing and develop solutions that position Qatar as a leader in sustainable material innovation across the region.” 

A Commitment to Innovation and National Progress
Papercut and Enavra will work together to:
• Develop next-generation compostable and biodegradable materials
• Build Qatar’s first large-scale bio-plastics manufacturing hub
• Reduce national waste through responsible packaging solutions
• Strengthen the country’s role as a regional sustainability leader
• Advance the environmental pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030

The official announcement will take place at the ROWAD Entrepreneurship Conference at DECC.
