Varden is a sustainable packaging solutions company. The Varden process is a proprietary process that brings together the benefits of pulp fibre based packaging, with the high tolerance of in injection moulded plastic and the decorative capabilities of paper board printing. This process delivers a unique level of cradle to cradle sustainability with the quality and design scope of high end plastic manufacturing. The design potential of the process together with its inherently green credentials, whether through accredited certification or perceived market perception, allows premium and upmarket products to both protect and enhance their brands voice within a sustainable packaging framework.
Varden is currently in talks with International FMCG companies to refine the process in-line with their operations.

Finding the next normal
Dec 2013
Solina Chau co-founded Horizons Ventures in 2002, investing early in DeepMind, Siri and Skype.
Enterprising science and technology companies power the privately-funded portfolio: founders and businesses whose IP and ideas can propel humanity to a brighter future.
Horizons Ventures’ track record is built on vision, instinct and drive. The vision of a better future for all, the instinct to spot companies and founders whose ideas will form the next- normal human reality - and the drive to push those companies to scale and impact.
We believe that a brighter future for humanity is within our grasp. But we know there are great barriers - entrenched inequities - preventing humanity from reaching this horizon. We inhabit the deep science and tech community, seeking out and investing in companies whose impact can smash the barriers to human potential. Code in kindness and respect. And build a better human.
