Compostable packaging for a circular future
Leading the way with 100% certified, plant- and compostable material-based packaging that closes the loop and empowers your brand by delivering performance today and regenerating nature tomorrow.
Guided by our
sustainability mission
Our mission is to replace single-use plastic with fully compostable alternatives that return to the earth and regenerate resources. We envision a circular economy where every package becomes nourishment for soil, not waste. Experts note that certified compostable packaging returns nutrients to soil and contributes to regenerating soils (per EN 13432/ASTM D6400 ecotoxicity and disintegration criteria).
This aligns with Bio‑PlastoBag’s purpose: to create environmentally responsible packaging that exceeds customer needs while leaving no toxic legacy under compliant composting conditions.
Rooted in our core values
Circularity
Innovation
Transparency
We introduced India’s first glue-patch handle bag made from compostable biopolymer — a breakthrough for retail packaging. We also launched the region’s first compostable drawstring and zipper bags. In printing and QR code technology, every bag we make carries a unique dynamic QR code for authenticity and traceability.
From our inaugural production line to today’s state-of-the-art facilities, we’ve steadily expanded our capacity, producing certified compostable packaging year after year. This growth reflects our commitment to meeting rapidly rising demand and continuously investing in plant-based and compostable material innovation.

Why choose our compostable Bio‑PlastoBag®?
Bioplastics offer an alternative to petro-plastics throughout their life cycle. Our products are made from certified, plant-based compostable materials selected for proven safety and real-world performance.
Compostable packaging behaves like plastic in use but, under the right composting conditions, breaks down into CO₂, water, and biomass.
Home and industrial compostability
Our products are certified for home and/or industrial composting as applicable. Compostable means complete biodegradation and disintegration within defined timeframes under set conditions, with limits on heavy metals and no adverse plant growth effects (per EN 13432/ASTM D6400; TÜV OK Compost).
Standards typically require approximately 90% disintegration within 180 days for home-certified plastics; Bio‑PlastoBag products meet TÜV OK Compost HOME where labeled and adhere to industrial standards such as ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 where labeled.
Lifecycle impact vs conventional plastics
Compostable packaging significantly reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Life-cycle analyses show that plant-based polymers emit far less greenhouse gas than oil-based plastics.
Our materials sequester biogenic carbon during plant growth (such as sugarcane or corn absorbs CO₂), and safely return it when composted — closing the carbon loop. We also eliminate the need for crude oil feedstocks, helping to build a local, circular bioeconomy.
Note: Each kilogram of fossil plastic corresponds to over 1 kg of oil. Shifting to PLA saves ~0.8 kg of oil per kg of plastic replaced.
Other environmental benefits
Certified bioplastics also show favorable performance across water use, energy efficiency, and emissions:
Altogether, compostable solutions often use less non-renewable energy and leave behind non-toxic, usable compost — instead of long-lasting waste.
Our Process:
From use to regeneration
DESIGNED TO PERFORM
Made from certified bio-polymers like PLA and PBAT, our bags match the strength and convenience of regular plastic while being fully compostable.
STEP 1
Used like any other bag
Our products are used across sectors — from food packaging to e-commerce — delivering reliable performance during transport, storage, or disposal.
STEP 2
Disposed into composting streams
After use, bags should be placed in a home compost bin or sent to an industrial composting facility, depending on the certification label. They should not be landfilled.
STEP 3
Broken down by microorganisms
In the presence of heat, moisture, and microbes, the bags decompose into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, with no toxic residue or microplastics left behind.
STEP 4
Returned to nature
What began as packaging ends as nutrient-rich compost that supports healthy soil — completing the cycle in as little as 6 to 12 weeks (industrial) or 180 days (home compost).
STEP 5

Our Process:
From use to regeneration
At Bio‑PlastoBag, circularity begins with product design. Our entire range is made from certified compostable materials — plant-based polymers engineered to break down into non-toxic organic matter under the right composting conditions. Unlike conventional plastics that linger for centuries, our products are designed to return safely to nature, offering a responsible alternative in a world moving toward circular economy models.
A circular economy isn’t just about recycling. It is about designing out waste, keeping materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Bio‑PlastoBag supports this vision by offering packaging that is not just disposable, but compostable by turning potential waste into a biological nutrient when processed in composting facilities.
Certified Excellence: Trusted Sustainable Solutions for a Better Tomorrow
Our commitment to verified sustainability means every product we make is certified to globally recognised standards. We comply with ASTM D6400 (USA) and EN 13432 (EU) for industrial compostability, as well as ISO 17088 (international). We also hold CPCB (India) certifications for compostable plastics and are certified by TÜV Austria’s OK Compost (Industrial and Home) and BPI (USA).
Note: OK Compost INDUSTRIAL is equivalent to EN 13432.

FAQs
What’s the difference between home composting and industrial composting?
Home composting takes place at ambient temperatures (roughly 20–30 °C) in garden bins or backyard piles. Under these mild conditions, certified home-compostable products typically break down fully within 90 to 180 days.
Industrial composting occurs in controlled facilities (around 55–60 °C, high humidity, regular turning) and takes about 6 to 12 weeks.
Bio‑PlastoBag products are certified for either or both systems — look for labels such as OK Compost Home, OK Compost Industrial, or relevant CPCB certifications on the packaging.
Will compostable bags break down in a regular landfill?
Unfortunately, no. Landfills are low-oxygen environments where compostable materials degrade very slowly, often over many years. Like food waste, compostable bags in landfill can emit methane as they decay.
In fact, many compostable items that end up in landfill remain largely intact.
For best results, compostable packaging should be collected through composting or organic waste channels. Well-designed municipal or institutional composting programs can help divert this waste and complete the composting cycle.
How long and at what temperature do these materials take to break down?
In a commercial composting facility (around 60 °C), our materials typically disintegrate in 6 to 12 weeks and biodegrade fully into CO₂ and biomass shortly after.
In a home composting setup (20–30 °C), the process is slower as most standards require around 90% mass loss within 180 days.
Actual breakdown times can vary depending on moisture, microbial activity, and surface area. Thin films and proper shredding can significantly speed up the composting process.
