Startups often emerge within the family circle – and so did our story, the story of EveGreen. It began in 2014, when Eva, the founder of the company, was on her way to work and was struck by a mountain of plastic flower pots left behind after hop planting in a nearby field. That moment sparked her curiosity and determination to find a way to eliminate excess plastic.

2017

Joining the Goodbiz accelerator program marked a turning point – Domen and Eva felt the call to take off on their own entrepreneurial journey.

In 2017, they became the winners of the “Best Entrepreneurial Idea” competition (Finance magazine) with their product innovation – eco pots made from waste peas and beans.

Their first public presentation took place at the MOS 2017 fair, where they were selected among entrepreneurial talents and introduced their idea to the Slovenian public.

2018

In 2018, new milestones follow. They win Trampolin, the Saša Incubator’s program for the best entrepreneurial idea in the region, which brings them recognition in the local community.

The second season of Goodbiz takes Eva and Domen to Zagreb, where they receive further confirmation that their idea holds global potential.

They begin regularly showcasing their work at B2B events such as 500 Podjetnic, Ustvarjalnik, and Best Entrepreneurial Idea.

2019

They join the European Climate-KIC accelerator program and simultaneously launch their company with the support of the P2 SPS grant (€52,000).

They are invited by a business partner to China, where they present their first eco pots at the Chinaplas fair. That same year, their eco pot is awarded the title of Gold Innovation of the Saša Region and advances to the national level, where they receive a special recognition as a young company.

In November 2019, they are invited to Brussels by European Parliament Member Franc Bogovič, where they present the importance of compostable solutions in everyday life to a selected group of Members of the European Parliament.

2020

At the same time, they expand their sales network by entering physical stores such as Trgovinca Žalec, Zelena Japka Maribor, and Kmetija Avdič Ljubljana. Through social media and closed groups (like Zero Waste Home and Women Entrepreneurs of the Savinja Region), they raise awareness about the importance of nature-friendly products.

Their media presence grows as well – an article on Siol.net titled “They Were Told: ‘This Can’t Be Done.’ Now the Whole World Is Looking for Them” sparks a wave of interest. Within 24 hours, they are contacted by 11 B2B buyers. This leads to their transition into a limited liability company (d.o.o.).

The year 2020 is marked by the development of an eco candle for one of Slovenia’s largest candle manufacturers – developed from raw material to finished product in just six months. Once again, they are awarded the Gold Regional Innovation and advance to the national level.

2021

Demand for personalized, sustainable corporate gifts exceeds expectations. The “Let’s Grow Together” product line is now also available for international clients (in German and English).

They continue to present their business model at events such as the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS), Lifelong Learning Week, 500 Podjetnic, Finance magazine, and various local events.

They also join the Climate-KIC program in Delft, the Netherlands, where they continue to explore alternative solutions to plastic.

2022

Eva becomes a facilitator of the Climate-KIC program Skills for Future and expands the company’s activities to include systemic innovation workshops for youth.

Domen completes his training as a UCI-certified cycling guide and begins leading cycling experiences on Pohorje (Ribniško Pohorje, Sport Kope).

This is followed by a pilot project for Atlantik Grupa – the production of granulate from coffee husks and the development of a bioplastic coffee spoon.

2023

They expand the color range of bio-based and biodegradable composites, enabling broader application in design and packaging.

Their business models are showcased at Climate-KIC events, green transformation projects, and CircularChange initiatives.

In 2023, they launch new sustainable gift sets, created in collaboration with the organic farm Potočnik–Poprask. Once again, they receive a regional innovation award from the Saša region.

2024

Together with JA Slovenia and German partners, they join the Erasmus++ FoodTure program.

They begin offering guided cycling tours through the Airbnb platform.

They deepen their collaboration with BioMi, jointly developing a new cosmetic line based on bio-based materials.
