Our story

The biodegradable paper pee bag is the brainchild of Siddhant Tawarawala – “Sid” to his friends – a young Indian entrepreneur.

He turned his engineering talents to solving the triple challenges in india and elsewhere of plastic waste, poor washroom provision and relieving the anxieties often associated with having a pee. The result: a biodegradable paper pee bag that offers pocket-size relief to those caught short, wherever they are and whatever the situation.

The bags are manufactured by Sid and his team in Jalna, Maharashtra.

Team Releaf Ltd in India - Where the biodegradable pee bag began

Sid is flying the flag for sustainable peeing solutions across India and beyond, with commercialisation support from the Royal Academy of Engineering Leaders In Innovation Programme.

It was via the LIF Programme that Sid met Keith Binding, an expert in commercialising sustainable innovations, and Sarah Leather, an entrepreneur and designer. RELEAF bags are now available from their canal-side headquarters in the lovely Oxfordshire village of Cropredy.
