EcoWrap — Sustainable Packaging Materials

EcoWrap specialises in providing eco-friendly packaging solutions designed to protect your products, customers, and the planet. Our mission is to replace traditional single-use plastics with biodegradable, compostable, and recycled materials that perform just as reliably. Combining cutting‑edge research, robust manufacturing practices, and a commitment to circular economy principles, EcoWrap helps businesses of all sizes reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on quality or convenience.
About EcoWrap – Championing a Greener Tomorrow
EcoWrap was founded in 2018 by environmental engineers and packaging experts united by a shared vision: to make sustainable packaging the standard, not the exception. Recognising the urgent need to curb plastic pollution, we invested in research partnerships with leading universities to develop proprietary biopolymer blends and advanced recycling processes. Today, our UK‑based production facility transforms locally sourced biomass, recycled paper, and reclaimed plastics into high‑performance packaging materials that biodegrade safely or re-enter the recycling stream at end of life.
From day one, our approach has been holistic—addressing not only materials but also design, logistics, and consumer behaviour. We work closely with brands to optimise pack shapes and sizes, reducing material use while maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal. Our design team employs life‑cycle assessment tools to quantify environmental impact at every stage: raw‑material extraction, manufacturing energy use, transportation, and disposal. These data‑driven insights guide our continuous improvement efforts, ensuring each new product iteration is greener and more efficient than the last.
Collaboration is at the heart of EcoWrap’s ethos. We partner with farmers to secure agricultural by‑products—such as wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse—and convert them into compostable trays, films, and moulded fibre inserts. We also support municipal recycling schemes by collecting and reprocessing local plastic waste into durable corrugated sheets and packing tape. Our closed‑loop initiatives not only divert waste from landfills but also drive community engagement and economic growth in rural areas.
Quality and performance are non‑negotiable. Every batch of EcoWrap material undergoes rigorous testing for tensile strength, barrier properties (moisture, oxygen, grease), and thermal stability. Independent labs certify our compostable films to EN 13432 standards, confirming they break down within industrial composting timeframes. Our recycled‑content products carry the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) certification, guaranteeing the percentage of post‑consumer resin. With EcoWrap, you can trust that your sustainable packaging choices meet the highest environmental and functional requirements.
Our Services
Compostable Films & Bags
We produce a range of compostable films and bags made from PLA, PBAT, and starch blends that meet EN 13432 standards for industrial composting. These films offer excellent clarity, tear resistance, and seal strength—ideal for food packaging, retail bags, and protective sleeves. Custom printing options allow full‑colour branding using water‑based inks, ensuring the entire package remains compostable. Our on‑site pilot line enables rapid prototyping, so you can test designs before scaling to full production. Each film batch includes comprehensive compost‑ability and migration test reports, providing you with complete regulatory compliance and peace of mind.
Recycled Plastic Corrugated Sheets
Our corrugated sheets are fabricated from 100 % post‑consumer recycled HDPE and PP, sourced from local municipal streams. These lightweight, moisture‑resistant boards are ideal for reusable crates, shipping containers, and protective inner packaging. Precision die‑cutting and fluting options (B, C, E flutes) allow custom strength and cushioning properties. The smooth surface accepts direct flexographic or digital print, enabling event‑specific graphics or QR‑code tracking labels. With a closed‑loop take‑back programme, we collect used sheets for regrinding and re-manufacturing, ensuring material circularity.
Molded Fibre Trays & Inserts
Using agricultural residues such as wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse, we produce rigid molded‑fibre trays and inserts that replace polystyrene and plastic foams. These products exhibit high compressive strength and thermal insulation, making them perfect for electronics packaging, takeaway food trays, and horticultural punnets. Our automated forming lines can adjust wall thickness and rim profiles to accommodate diverse product geometries. Finished fibre components are water‑resistant, grease‑resistant, and fully compostable in domestic and industrial settings. Bulk‑order and rapid‑prototype services speed up new‑product introductions.
Paper & Board Packaging Solutions
EcoWrap offers a comprehensive selection of kraft paper, duplex board, and coated board options made from FSC‑certified virgin and recycled fibres. From printed folding cartons to rigid slipcases, we combine offset and digital print technologies for vibrant, high‑definition graphics. Barrier coatings—completely recyclable and water‑based—provide moisture protection for bakery items and fresh produce. Our in‑house scoring, gluing, and glueless lock‑bottom solutions deliver fast assembly and leak‑proof performance. Substrates range from 200 gsm to 800 gsm, supporting lightweight mailers up to heavy‑duty retail packaging.
Custom Packaging Design & Engineering
Our packaging engineers collaborate with your team to optimise pack structures for material reduction, stacking strength, and unboxing experience. We utilise CAD and finite‑element analysis (FEA) to simulate drop‑tests, vibration, and compression, ensuring protective performance with minimal weight. Prototyping uses a rapid‑turnaround R&D lab equipped with sample presses and digital cutters. User‑experience workshops evaluate ergonomics, opening mechanisms, and graphic placement—ensuring each design delights consumers and streamlines assembly. End‑of‑life scenarios are modelled to maximise recyclability or compostability.
Take‑Back & Circular Economy Programmes
To close the loop, EcoWrap implements onsite collection bins and reverse‑logistics for post‑use packaging. Our network of regional collection centres sorts, cleans, and processes materials back into feedstock for manufacturing. Clients receive quarterly diversion and reuse reports, demonstrating carbon‑footprint reductions and landfill‑avoidance metrics. Educational materials and community‑engagement events help end users embrace sustainable disposal practices. Through joint marketing campaigns, we amplify the circular‑economy message and build brand loyalty.
