Biodegradable Polythene Bags | EN13432 & ASTM D6400 Certified

Biodegradable polythene bags are eco friendly packaging solutions made from polythene blended with biodegradable additives— designed to decompose naturally in suitable environments (industrial composting) while maintaining the functionality of traditional polythene bags. Xiamen Richer Plastic Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer with over 20 years of experience, produces high performance biodegradable polythene bags that balance sustainability, strength, and versatility, supported by a 13,000 square meter facility with 24 film blowing machines (for consistent polythene sheet production), 44 precision cutting machines, and 8 advanced printing machines. With an annual production capacity of 2,500 tons and exports to 50+ countries, the company serves clients in retail, food service, agriculture, and logistics. The biodegradable technology behind these bags is key. Richer Plastic’s biodegradable polythene bags meet international certifications including EN13432 (European standard) and ASTM D6400 (US standard), ensuring they decompose into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass within 180 days in industrial composting conditions (temperature 58 65°C, high humidity). Importantly, the bags maintain their strength and functionality during use— comparable to traditional polythene bags—making them suitable for various applications. For example, an organic grocery store in the UK uses Richer Plastic’s biodegradable polythene bags as shopping bags— customers appreciate the eco friendly option, and the bags safely hold groceries without tearing. An agricultural cooperative in Thailand uses the bags to package fresh vegetables, with the bags decomposing naturally after disposal, avoiding plastic waste in farmland. Application scenarios are wide ranging. In food service, they are used for packaging snacks, baked goods, and takeout, with food grade options compliant with FDA standards— ensuring safety for direct food contact. In retail, they serve as shopping bags or product packaging, helping brands meet sustainability goals and appeal to eco conscious consumers. In agriculture, they are used for packaging produce, seeds, or fertilizers, with moisture resistant properties protecting contents while allowing for natural decomposition. In logistics, they are used as lightweight packaging for small items, reducing environmental impact compared to traditional plastic. Quality control and customization are priorities. Richer Plastic adheres to ISO9001 standards, conducting tests for biodegradation rate (verified by third party labs), tensile strength (to ensure useability), and food safety (for food related applications). The 98.7% first pass inspection rate guarantees consistent performance. Customization options include size (from 15x25cm to 100x150cm), thickness (15 50 microns), printing (brand logos, eco friendly messaging), and features like handles or resealable strips. The custom order process is client focused: account managers gather requirements, provide quotes within 24 hours, share samples (including biodegradation test reports), and offer real time production updates. With global shipping and tariff saving options via the Cambodia facility, Richer Plastic ensures timely delivery.
