Not an early stage tech startup, sure, but technology and manufacturing intersect on so many levels… the 4thEst8 just had to show up this morning for the factory tour of EnviroPAK Corp. in Earth City, MO.

They make a sustainable molded pulp packaging product for several industries ranging from electronics to medical and telecom. 

The tour is part of St. Louis Makes, so if you’re interested in stuff like this, hop over to their site and sign up.
