From field to doorstep
Crop residue → premium fibre packaging
Built for environmentally conscious businesses
1.4B+ t
of crop residue is produced every year — most of it burned or dumped.
The world’s biggest packaging problem is growing in a field right now.
Every harvest leaves behind mountains of stalks and husks. Every order you ship burns through virgin paper and plastic. Stover connects the two: we convert that agricultural waste into high-quality paper packaging, so waste becomes supply and shipping becomes circular.
- Reduce waste — divert crop residue from burning and landfill.
- Lower cost — priced at parity to slightly below virgin materials.
- Meet CSR goals — reportable, verifiable sustainability impact.
One fibre. Every format your brand ships.

Cost parity, not a green premium
Agri-waste is a low-cost by-product, so we price at parity to slightly below virgin paper. Sustainability that helps your margin.
A true circular economy
We turn residue that would be burned or dumped into packaging — then it recycles and composts back into the soil. Nothing wasted.
Built for the e-commerce mailer
We own the fastest-growing fibre niche end-to-end, so your mailers arrive strong, on-brand and on time, every cycle.
Recurring bulk, made simple

No trees harvested
Every Stover order keeps virgin timber standing by sourcing fibre from crops that were already grown for food.
Where Stover wins
Mycelium, fibre and design-led players each leave a gap. We built our core around them.

From harvested field to your customer’s doorstep
Rescue the residue
We collect crop stover — the stalks, leaves and husks left after harvest — from partner farms, paying growers for what they'd otherwise burn.
Pulp into premium fibre
Low-energy processing turns that residue into strong, food-safe paper pulp — no virgin trees, far less water and carbon than timber pulp.
Form your packaging
We press and print mailers, carry bags and boxes to spec, matched to your brand and sized to cut void fill and shipping weight.
Ship on a recurring plan
Your bulk order lands on a predictable cadence. Reorder in a click as you scale — production and fulfilment stay on autopilot.

Questions, answered
Stover packaging is made from agricultural residue — the leaves, stalks and husks (“stover”) left in fields after harvest. We pulp this fibre into high-quality paper for mailers, carry bags and boxes, diverting waste from burning or landfill and keeping virgin trees standing.
Because our feedstock is a low-cost by-product rather than harvested timber, we price at parity to slightly below virgin-paper packaging. Most brands see a lower blended cost once you factor in recurring bulk pricing — no green premium required.
Yes. Our e-commerce mailers are burst- and tear-tested for last-mile shipping, take full-colour and single-colour print beautifully, and are curbside recyclable and home-compostable. This is our core focus — the fastest-growing, highest-margin fibre segment.
Mycelium and seaweed players solve niche use-cases but struggle with cost and scale for everyday shipping. Design-led marketplaces focus on branding, not the material. Stover owns the agri-waste fibre supply chain end-to-end, so we deliver mailer-grade paper at true cost parity and recurring bulk volume.
Accounts are recurring bulk buyers on a monthly plan — think carry bags, mailers and boxes shipped on a predictable cadence. A typical account runs around $3K/month, with pricing that improves as your volume grows.
Join the waitlist with your monthly volume and we’ll send a physical sample kit plus a tailored quote. Once you’re happy, you can activate a recurring plan and we handle production, print and fulfilment.
