Our Custom Compostable Clothing Bags are crafted from D42 film, a unique material blend of cassava root, cornstarch, and compostable bio-based polymers, offering eco-friendly protection without plastics or microplastics. Certified by TUV and ABA for home and industrial composting, these bags biodegrade in 180 days in home compost and 90 days in industrial facilities, including the zipper. Available in sizes from 1.18x1.97" to 31.5x39.37", with customizable closures (zipper-pull tab, zip lock, non-toxic reclosable adhesive) and thicknesses (20-200μm), these bags offer versatility across industries like apparel, healthcare, and cosmetics. Durable and waterproof, they’re engineered to provide reliable tear resistance and maintain their integrity with a 1-year shelf life. Starting at just 5,000 units, they provide brands with sustainable, high-performance packaging. Food Safe: These bags can also be made food-safe, broadening their use for food and beverage applications.

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 don’t. Many “biodegradable” 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 — 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 – 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.
