Our 100% Compostable and biodegradable poly bags are certified for both Home and Industrial composting. These third-party tests are done by institutions such as the BPI and TUV. They are made from our D42 film, which consists of organic materials like Cassava Root and Cornstarch, along with fully compostable polymers that are both bio-based and fossil-based. As such, they contain no plastic or microplastics. They can also be referred to as biodegradable poly bags, however they are compostable as they reach the more stringent requirements for home & industrial composting. The difference between compostable and biodegradable is outlined here. They can be customized starting at a minimum of just 5,000 units.Ā

Our biodegradable poly bags offer the ultimate eco-friendly and sustainable inner-packaging solution for industries such as apparel and cosmetics. Made from a unique blend of organic materials and compostable polymers, these mailers showcase our commitment to preserving the planet. We meticulously control our supply chain and ensure that all cornstarch in our mailers comes from discarded corn unfit for human consumption. This innovative material combination provides exceptional durability and guarantees complete biodegradability within just 180 days in a home composting bin.
Discover the quality for yourself with our sample kit, perfect for high volumes (5,000+)! Choose our compostable poly bag for a greener packaging solution that merges sustainability with reliability. These mailers offer a great way to highlight your brand and promote sustainability messaging while contributing to a healthier planet. Say goodbye to harmful plastic waste and embrace packaging that aligns with your eco-conscious values.
Like any material, compostable film has its pros and cons. While it is home-compostable, it has a shelf life of about one year before its strength can no longer be guaranteed. Depending on your order volume, you might want to consider alternative materials like Kraft paper, which has no shelf life and is both recyclable and compostable.

Is compostable packaging good for the environment?
Our perspective on compostable packaging evolves with ongoing research and new findings. One thing remains clear: we can't continue to depend solely on paper and LDPE (plastic) for future packaging solutions. Innovation in materials is essential, which is why we currently offer compostable options. While our present offerings may not be "perfect," the absence of investment from companies like ours would hinder progress toward the ideal compostable material. There are challenges, such as incomplete composting infrastructure and the lack of a strong alternative to fossil-based PBAT, a common binder in many bags. However, without exploring these options and supporting R&D in material science, legislative changes and the development of new materials will stall. For this reason, we see compostable technologies as a crucial investment in the future.
Do your bags contain microplastics?
No, they donāt. Many ābiodegradableā plastics are often oxo-degradable plastics. These are produced from conventional non-biodegradable plastics, enhanced with additives that simulate biodegradation to promote material fragmentation. These plastics disintegrate into tiny fragments that persist in the environment. Our bags are completely different ā there is no polyethylene structure in the bags. Instead, when they break down, they dissolve into water, organic biomass, and C02.
What are the certifications?
The bags are certified by all three industry certifiers; Vincotte, BPI and Dincerto,
meeting American, European, International and Australian standards ā including
certifications for your domestic home compost. To gain these certifications, the
product must break down within 90 days in commercial compost and 180 days in
home compost conditions, including wormfarm compost. After degradation, they
must leave no harmful residues behind. In fact, the only residue left behind is a soil
enhancer which is returned to the earth as plant food.
What is the shelf life?
This is very important. To ensure maximum longevity, EcoPackables mailers should
be stored in a dark, dry place. If stored correctly, they will be strong enough to send
parcels around the world for at least 9-12 months, if not, their strength will be
compromised. This is why we recommend ordering in 6-month intervals.
