Our Journey

Relife began its journey in 2023 when Mudassir Aslam, a marketing student at the University of Lahore, turned a simple idea into a powerful movement. Disturbed by Pakistan’s growing environmental challenges—deforestation, paper waste, pollution, and unemployment—he envisioned a solution rooted in sustainability: eco-friendly, plantable pencils made from 100% recycled paper.

The concept was first introduced at the Zindigi Prize Regionals 2023, where it sparked early recognition. With support from the University of Lahore’s Innovation Hub, Mudassir developed Relife into a scalable startup. Through mentorship, field testing, and a strong belief in impact-driven entrepreneurship, the startup moved from prototype to production—generating sales, building partnerships, and creating real environmental awareness.

Since then, Relife has made waves across the entrepreneurial landscape. The startup has won multiple awards and secured top positions in national and international competitions, including the Maker Festival, TIE University, Babson Global Challenge, and the UOL Innovation Awards. Relife was also pitched at Shark Tank Pakistan, where it gained national attention for its mission and business model.

The startup’s unique approach to turning waste into plantable stationery has been featured on major media platforms such as ARY News, Samaa News, Hum News, Express News, and Discover Pakistan. It has also appeared on leading morning shows including PTV Home (Morning at Home), City 42, Hum News (Subah Se Agay), and 24 News (Morning with Fiza Ali).

Now incubated at National Incubation Center Lahore, Relife continues to grow. With a vision to save 8 million trees annually, empower local communities, and make eco-friendly products part of everyday life, Relife is not just a startup it’s a movement for a sustainable future.
