Below are exporters and manufacturers you can contact for “eco‑friendly” plastic film (biodegradable, compostable, bio‑based, or recycled film) that export to Europe — grouped by region/type — plus quick vetting tips and typical certifications to request.

Top exporters / manufacturers (examples to contact)

• Europe — established film producers offering recycled or compostable films

  • RKW Group (Germany) — large European film producer with recycled-PE and sustainable film lines; supplies retail & industrial film across Europe. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Borealis / Borouge (Austria/Europe/Middle East) — major polyolefin supplier with circular/recycled film initiatives and recycling assets in Europe. Good for PCR (post‑consumer recycled) films. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Futamura / NatureFlex (cellulose-based compostable films; widely used in Europe). Good for renewable cellulose films (not petroleum-based). (yitopack.com)
  • EcoCorte (Croatia) — European producer focused on compostable films and cling wrap for food/retail. (yitopack.com)

• Asia — large-scale exporters that ship compostable/biodegradable films to Europe

  • Multiple Chinese manufacturers (examples: Hongxiang, Guangdong clusters, other biodegradable stretch film makers). China dominates production of biodegradable stretch/packaging film for export; many factories ship FOB/CIF to EU buyers. (Request EU test reports and OK Compost/EN certifications). (accio.com)
  • Israel — TIP (compostable flexible films / cling wrap) — exports to European retailers and FMCG brands. (yitopack.com)
  • Australia / Others — specialist brands (e.g., Great Wrap, Gret Wrap) that export compostable cling film to Europe and elsewhere. (yitopack.com)

• Specialist / branded providers (global exporters)

  • BiBag (Denmark; supplies compostable bags and films across Europe/North America). Good for retail & compostable waste-bag film products. (yitopack.com)
  • ZhanHuixin and other Asian producers offering TUV/EN‑certified biodegradable stretch films (examples of factories offering EU‑certified compostable pallet wrap). Useful for logistics/warehouse wrap. (zhanhuixin.cn)

What to request from any exporter (vetting checklist)

• Product specification sheet (thickness, tensile strength, elongation, application).
• Third‑party certification/lab reports:
  • For compostable: EN 13432 (industrial compostability) and/or OK Compost INDUSTRIAL / HOME as applicable.
  • For biodegradability claims: ASTM D6400, ISO 14855 (as appropriate) — ask for the actual test report with lab name and date. (zhanhuixin.cn)
• Evidence of recyclability or PCR content if you want recycled films (e.g., mass balance statements, % PCR, chain-of-custody).
• Samples for lab testing in your EU market (food contact approvals if for food).
• Factory audit reports (ISO 9001 / ISO 14001), and EU customs/export documentation experience (EPR compliance knowledge).
• COA (certificate of analysis) and MSDS.

How to source and compare

• If you need volume fast: large Chinese exporters and global suppliers (Futamura, Borealis, RKW) can handle container orders to EU ports. (accio.com)
• If you need EU‑based provenance and shorter lead times: prioritize European manufacturers (RKW, EcoCorte, BiBag, local compostable film specialists). (en.wikipedia.org)
• For PLA/plant‑based films: NatureWorks / Ingeo resin and downstream film converters (e.g., companies using Ingeo) — good for food‑grade compostable film. (en.wikipedia.org)

Practical next steps (fast)

1. Decide priority: compostable vs. recycled vs. recyclable (PE) film.
2. Shortlist 3–5 suppliers above based on region and lead time.
3. Ask each for: spec sheet, certification test reports (EN 13432 / ASTM as relevant), sample (paid or free), FOB price and lead time to your EU port.
4. Run in‑market tests (food contact, shelf life, machine compatibility) and verify certificates with issuing bodies.

If you want, I can:

• Build a shortlist of 8–12 specific supplier contacts (with web links and typical MOQ/lead time) tailored to whether you prefer EU‑made, Asia exporters, or recycled‑content film — or
• Draft an email template / RFQ you can send to suppliers requesting the exact vetting documents above.

Which of the above would you like next?
