Greenwashing and regulatory loopholes continue to plague the sustainable packaging industry, creating confusion among consumers and businesses alike. While companies race to offer eco-friendly alternatives, many fall short of true compostability standards, misleading buyers with claims of biodegradability that fail to meet stringent global benchmarks. Enforcement remains inconsistent, allowing non-compliant plastic products to flood the market despite government regulations.
Compounding the challenge, businesses demand packaging solutions that not only meet sustainability criteria but also replicate the functional and mechanical properties of conventional plastics, an expectation that only a handful of manufacturers like Ecolastic can address.
From Lab to Market
Ecolastic Products Pvt Ltd. is an R&D-focused, end-to-end sustainable value chain company that delivers scalable, high-quality alternatives to single-use plastics. By leveraging a fully integrated manufacturing process, from product formulation and testing to compounding, extrusion, printing, and conversion, the company ensures that every solution meets stringent global compostability standards and mirrors the functional excellence of conventional plastics.
This innovative approach empowers businesses to transition seamlessly to environmentally responsible packaging, backed by rigorous certifications and a commitment to customer-centric excellence.
“We provide reliable, consistent, and high-quality sustainable packaging products which not just meet our customers’ packaging requirements but also become part of their Sustainability initiatives.”, says Jithendra Nimmagadda, Director & Group CEO, Ecolastic. Founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ecolastic spent its initial years in rigorous research and development. Collaborating with DRDO and obtaining CPCB certification, the company laid a strong foundation for credibility and compliance before launching its first product in September 2021. Since then, it has expanded its portfolio to include nearly 20 product categories.
In healthcare, for instance, the focus is on specialized Biohazard waste bags, while facility management sectors benefit from high-performance garbage bags. In the retail space, the company provides sustainable carry bags, and in hospitality, purpose-designed pouches deliver both functionality and style. For the e-Commerce industry, bespoke solutions like courier bags ensure that packaging meets evolving market demands. For the automotive and electronics industry, highly customized VCI and ESD packaging solutions are provided.
