Sustainable food packaging startup Fibtray, born as a spin-off from AINIA, has closed a €250,000 funding round backed by Redit Ventures and its investment club. The operation strengthens the company’s roadmap towards industrial scaling and national and international expansion.
Fibtray develops its own packaging technology aimed at significantly reducing plastic use in food trays while maintaining the technical, functional, and food safety requirements demanded by the industry.
The new investment will allow the company to strengthen its industrial development capabilities, accelerate the scalability of its technology, expand validation in new application environments, and advance its commercial strategy. The goal is to transform its innovation into a scalable industrial solution applicable across different markets and segments of the food packaging value chain.
Fibtray’s proposal addresses one of the sector’s main challenges: reducing plastic use without compromising efficiency or industrial performance. The company operates in a context of growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions from both retailers and consumers, aligning with the transition towards more circular packaging systems.
In addition to the funding, Redit Ventures’ participation provides strategic support and access to a broader industrial and technological ecosystem. Driven by the network of technological institutes of the Valencian Community, Redit Ventures focuses on deep-tech projects and technology transfer initiatives with high industrial potential.
Internationalization will be one of Fibtray’s key growth pillars in this new stage. Its strategy is based on industrial collaboration and progressive technology scaling, with the aim of facilitating market adoption and accelerating partnerships with major industry players.
