Our 100% Compostable and Biodegradable Poly Bags provide a sustainable inner-packaging solution ideal for apparel, travel, and healthcare industries. Made from D42 film—a unique blend of organic materials like cassava root and cornstarch and compostable bio-based polymers—these bags are free from plastics and microplastics. Certified by TUV, ABA, and BPI, they are industrial composting (90 days), offering a reliable, eco-conscious packaging choice. These poly bags are customizable with options for sizes, two-sided printing, thicknesses from 20-100μm, vent holes, and closures like zipper-pull tabs, zip locks, or non-toxic reclosable adhesive. With a daily capacity of 35,000 units and a minimum order of 5,000 units, they’re ideal for brands with high-volume needs. To ensure quality, we source cornstarch from non-food-grade, discarded corn, reflecting responsible sourcing and supply chain control. While they have a shelf life of about one year, compostable poly bags should be used within this timeframe for optimal strength. For long-term storage needs, consider our Kraft paper alternatives, which are 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 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.
