- Sustainable Materials: Made from our D42 film, which includes organic materials like Cassava Root and Cornstarch, along with fully compostable bio-based and fossil-based polymers, these bags contain no plastic or microplastics. While often called biodegradable poly bags, they are truly compostable, meeting stringent home and industrial composting standards. Learn more about the difference between compostable and biodegradable here.
- Responsible Sourcing: We carefully manage our supply chain to ensure all cornstarch is responsibly sourced from discarded corn unfit for human consumption. These eco-friendly bags are certified to fully biodegrade within 180 days in a home compost bin and 90 days in industrial compost facilities, including the zipper! They are certified for both Home and Industrial composting by institutions such as the BPI and TUV.
- Customizable Packaging: Starting at just 5,000 units, our customizable, eco-friendly packaging allows you to showcase your product, brand, and sustainability message.
- Durability and Performance: Our compostable clothing bags offer superior tear resistance and waterproof properties, even under heavy weight, outperforming conventional plastic bags.
- Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place with a shelf life of up to 1 year to maintain the bags' integrity and compostability.
- Custom Samples Available: Experience the quality of our compostable clothing bags with our sample kit, or contact us for information on the custom sample process.
- Food Safe: These bags can be made food safe, adding versatility to their 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.
