The science behind the bag.
Every BagToNature bag is made with BASF ecovio® — a certified plant-based material trusted by manufacturers worldwide for over 25 years.
What is BASF ecovio®?
ecovio® is a high-performance compostable material developed by BASF — one of the world's leading chemical companies. It is a blend of two components.
A flexible, biodegradable polymer that gives the bags their strength, stretch, and leak resistance.
A plant-derived bioplastic made from renewable resources like corn starch.
Together, they create a material that performs like conventional plastic but biodegrades completely under industrial composting conditions.

ASTM D6400 is the industry-standard testing process for compostable plastics. It measures whether a product biodegrades fully within a set timeframe under industrial composting conditions, leaving no harmful residue. BPI Certified means our bags have been independently tested and passed ASTM D6400.
