Ecopro is a custom manufacturer of certified compostable bags and flexible packaging. We work with brands, distributors and business customers on made-to-order and private-label projects, rather than selling a fixed range of ready-to-ship retail products.

Our product range includes compostable trash bags, drawstring bags, dog waste bags, carrier and produce bags, mailing bags, resealable bags, films and cling film. We develop product specifications and packaging formats according to each application and market.

Yes. We manufacture products for customers under their own brands. Depending on the product, we can customise the bag style, size, thickness, colour, printing and packaging to meet the requirements of your business and target market.

Please share the product type, dimensions, thickness, estimated order quantity, printing and packaging requirements, destination market and any required certifications. If some details are not yet finalised, tell us about your intended application and we can discuss the specification.

MOQ varies by bag type, dimensions, thickness, printing and packaging requirements. Share your specifications and estimated order volume, and our team will confirm the MOQ for your project.

For many orders, the typical production lead time is within 30 days after the order details have been confirmed. Actual lead time may vary depending on product specifications, quantity, printing, packaging and production arrangements. Please contact our team to confirm the schedule for your order.

Our products are made from compostable material blends that may include PBAT, PLA and starch, depending on the product and its performance requirements. Different applications may require different formulations. Compostable does not necessarily mean 100% plant-based; please tell us if your market has a specific bio-based content requirement.

Yes. Ecopro compostable bags are made with non-GMO materials and are BPA-free and PFAS-free. These are material attributes and should be considered separately from compostability certification. Supporting information can be discussed for the specific product and market.

Ecopro offers products certified under recognised schemes, including TÜV AUSTRIA OK compost HOME and OK compost INDUSTRIAL, BPI certification to ASTM D6400, and ABA certification to AS 5810 and AS 4736. We also offer products certified to EN 13432. Certifications apply to specific products, formulations and specifications, and the relevant scope is confirmed for each project.

Yes. Certification eligibility depends on the product formulation, specifications and scope of the relevant certificate. Our team can review your requirements and confirm which certifications apply and whether any additional logo-use approval or sublicensing is required for your brand.

Independent certification confirms that a specified product meets defined requirements for a particular composting environment. Assessment includes biodegradation, disintegration and compost quality, as well as limits on certain substances. It helps buyers select products and support accurate labelling, although local collection and composting facilities may have their own acceptance rules.

Biodegradable means that a material can be broken down through biological activity, but the word alone does not specify the conditions or timeframe. Certified compostable products must meet defined requirements in a specified composting environment, including biodegradation, disintegration and compost quality.

Both rely on microorganisms to break down compostable materials. The main difference lies in the composting conditions.

Home compostable products are certified for composting under lower-temperature conditions, while industrially compostable products are certified for controlled composting conditions, typically involving higher temperatures.

Actual composting performance depends on the conditions of the composting system, including temperature, moisture and microbial activity.

Under suitable aerobic composting conditions, microorganisms convert compostable materials into carbon dioxide, water and biomass. This is biological breakdown, not simply the physical fragmentation of a bag into smaller pieces.

The time varies with the product, its thickness and the composting environment. TÜV AUSTRIA explains that temperature, microorganisms and other conditions affect the rate of biodegradation. Its industrial compostability scheme includes defined biodegradation and disintegration requirements, while home compostability is assessed under lower-temperature conditions. Our certified products meet the requirements of their applicable certifications, but a single breakdown time cannot be guaranteed across all real-world environments.

No, when the bags are properly composted under the conditions covered by their relevant certification. Ecopro’s certified compostable bags are designed to biodegrade rather than merely fragment into persistent conventional-plastic microplastics. Compostability certification assesses biodegradation, disintegration, compost quality and limits on certain substances. This assurance is specific to the certified composting conditions; it does not mean a discarded bag will break down in the same way in soil, rivers or oceans.

Only use products specifically certified for home composting, such as applicable TÜV AUSTRIA OK compost HOME or ABA AS 5810-certified products. Industrial compostability alone does not establish home compostability. Check the product’s certification and the suitability of the composting conditions.

Follow the product’s disposal instructions and local waste-management guidance. Use an organics collection or composting system that accepts the specific bag and its contents. Do not place compostable bags in conventional plastic recycling unless local instructions expressly permit it, and do not litter them.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Keep bags in their protective packaging until needed. Storage recommendations for a particular project can be confirmed with our team.

No. Food-contact suitability depends on the specific product, its formulation, intended use and destination market. Compostability certification alone does not establish food-contact compliance. Please tell us the type of food, expected contact conditions and market so we can review the appropriate product and documentation.
