Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for biodegradable plastic bags wholesale?
A: Standard MOQ starts from 5,000 pieces for standard sizes. For custom orders (logo printing, custom sizes), MOQ is typically 10,000–20,000 pieces. Sample orders available for quality testing (500-1,000 pieces).

Q2: What certifications do your biodegradable plastic bags hold?
A: Our bags are certified under BPI (ASTM D6400), EN 13432, OK Compost Home, and ISO 9001:2015 — covering US and EU market compliance. Full documentation available upon request.

Q3: Are these bags truly compostable at home?
A: Yes. Our bags hold OK Compost HOME certification (TÜV Austria), meaning they biodegrade in home composting conditions (ambient temperature, no industrial equipment). When composted, bags return to the earth as water, CO₂, and rich humus.

Q4: What is the difference between biodegradable and compostable?
A: Biodegradable means the material breaks down naturally over time but may leave residues. Compostable means it breaks down completely under specific composting conditions into H₂O, CO₂, and organic biomass — leaving NO toxic residue. Our bags are certified compostable.

Q5: What is your lead time for bulk orders?
A: Standard lead time: 15–20 days for bulk orders depending on volume and customization. Sample orders: 3–7 days. Expedited options available — contact us for urgent requirements.

Q6: Can I get a sample before bulk order?
A: Yes. We offer free existing samples (you pay shipping) or custom samples with your logo/design (small setup fee). Sample lead time: 3–7 days.

Q7: What payment terms do you accept?
A: T/T (bank transfer), L/C at sight, and for qualified regular customers, partial deposit with balance against B/L copy.

Q8: How strong are these bags? Can they handle heavy groceries or trash?
A: Yes. Our biodegradable plastic bags are engineered with tensile strength MD ≥ 25 MPa, load capacity 8–12 kg — comparable to traditional poly bags. These bags will last a long time and serve multiple purposes as a shopping bag or trash bag, with no worries about clinging bags, leaks, or spills.

Q9: How do these compare in cost to traditional plastic bags?
A: Typically 20-40% higher in material cost. However, with plastic bag bans expanding globally, businesses that switch early avoid compliance penalties, attract eco-conscious customers, and gain competitive advantage. The market is projected to grow to USD 11.32 billion by 2033 — making the switch a strategic investment.

Q10: Are these bags suitable for food contact?
A: Yes. Our biodegradable plastic bags are food-grade certified, powder-free, and latex-free — safe for direct food contact in grocery stores, takeaway, and food service applications.
