BPI Certified Compostable Bags for Wholesale & OEM
ORIZON manufactures BPI-certified compostable bag products for importers, distributors, private-label brands and commercial organics programs. Certification applies to the specific products and SKUs covered by ORIZON’s current BPI listing.
Our BPI company number is #10529118. BPI-listed product categories include food-waste bags, yard-waste bags, produce bags, retail merchandise bags, resealable bags and other approved formats.
Custom size, thickness, printing and packaging can be reviewed against the applicable BPI-listed product scope before quotation.
BPI-Certified Compostable Bags from ORIZON
BPI certification applies to approved products and product configurations—not automatically to every bag made by a certified manufacturer.
For B2B buyers, the most important step is to match the bag being purchased with the applicable BPI-listed product or SKU.
Depending on the certified item, relevant product details may include:
- product type
- thickness or grammage
- color
- printing
- product construction
- SKU or item number
Customization should therefore be reviewed against the applicable certification scope before artwork, sampling or mass production is finalized.
For a detailed explanation of BPI certification, ASTM D6400 and ASTM D6868, see our BPI Compostable Certification Guide.

How to Verify a BPI-Certified Bag
Before ordering, buyers should verify both the supplier and the exact finished product.
Check:
- the legal company or license holder;
- the BPI company number;
- the exact product or SKU;
- the listed product description and specification;
- the current certification status.
Do not rely only on a BPI logo, certificate screenshot or statement that the raw material is certified.
BPI maintains an official Online Product Catalog that can be searched by company, product, SKU or keyword.
For ORIZON-specific verification steps and current product information, see our BPI Certification Verification page.

BPI-Certified Compostable Bag Manufacturer & Supplier
ORIZON manufactures compostable bags for importers, distributors, private-label brands and commercial organics programs.
For BPI-related projects, buyers should verify both the supplier and the exact finished product covered by the applicable certification scope.
Our manufacturing capabilities include:
- custom bag dimensions
- film thickness
- bag color
- printing
- roll and core configuration
- retail or bulk packaging
- private-label production
Custom production does not automatically mean that every modified product remains within an existing BPI-certified scope. The final specification should be reviewed before certification claims or Certification Mark use are finalized.
For company and product verification, see our BPI Certification Verification page.
BPI-Certified Bags for Commercial Composting
BPI Commercial Compostability Certification is intended for eligible products evaluated for commercial composting conditions.
For buyers sourcing food-waste bags, bin liners or other organics-collection products, two questions should be checked separately:
- Is the finished product covered by the required BPI certification?
- Does the receiving composting program accept that product?
A BPI-certified item may meet the applicable certification requirements, but acceptance still depends on the municipality, waste program or composting facility.
For a detailed explanation of commercial and home composting certification, see our BPI Compostable Certification Guide.
Who Buys BPI-Certified Compostable Bags?
| Buyer | Typical Project |
|---|---|
| Importers & Distributors | Wholesale and multi-SKU supply |
| Commercial Organics Programs | Food-waste and organics liners |
| Waste Contractors | Collection and program supply |
| Hotels & Commercial Kitchens | Food-waste liners |
| Supermarkets | Produce, retail and back-of-house applications |
| Private-Label Brands | Branded certified product development |
For larger programs, confirm the bag specification, certification scope and packaging requirements before production so repeat orders can be manufactured against the same approved reference.
BPI-Certified vs Generic “Biodegradable” Claims
“Biodegradable” and “BPI certified compostable” are not equivalent claims.
BPI certification provides third-party verification for specific approved compostable products, while a general biodegradable claim does not by itself demonstrate compliance with BPI certification requirements.
For a detailed explanation of the terminology, see our Biodegradable vs Compostable Guide.
Custom BPI Compostable Bags for OEM Projects
For most OEM projects, the first step is identifying an existing BPI-listed product that is close to the required specification.
Send us:
- bag type
- dimensions
- thickness
- color
- printing requirements
- bags per roll
- packaging format
- destination market
We can compare the proposed project with the applicable BPI-listed item before sampling or mass production.
Typical customization may include:
- bag dimensions and thickness
- color
- printing
- bags per roll
- core or coreless format
- retail or bulk packaging
Customization does not automatically mean the modified product remains within the existing BPI certification scope.
If the requested configuration falls outside the applicable scope, this should be identified before artwork and packaging are finalized.
For broader custom manufacturing options, see our Custom Compostable Bags page.
Private-Label BPI Compostable Bags & Sublicensing
Private-label BPI projects involve more than printing a customer logo on an existing certified product.
Where a customer will sell the finished product under its own brand and use the BPI Certification Mark, the applicable BPI certification or sublicense requirements must be completed before the mark is used.
A BPI sublicense links eligible finished products and SKUs from the original BPI License holder with the private-label customer’s branded products and SKUs. Sublicensing does not transfer manufacturing rights: the applicable certified products must continue to be manufactured by the BPI License holder at authorized facilities.
Before artwork approval, confirm:
- the original BPI-listed product and SKU;
- the proposed private-label product and SKU;
- final dimensions, thickness and construction;
- colour and printing;
- BPI Certification Mark usage;
- artwork requirements; and
- applicable sublicense requirements.
Certification and sublicense requirements should be confirmed before final artwork or mass production.
For verification of the underlying ORIZON-listed product, see our BPI Certification Verification page.
BPI Certification Mark usage is governed by the applicable BPI License or Sublicense Agreement. BPI-certified finished products and their applicable packaging are generally required to display the BPI Certification Mark unless BPI has granted a written exemption. Artwork should be reviewed under the applicable BPI process before production.
What to Check Before Placing a BPI Bag Order
Before issuing a purchase order, confirm:
- the manufacturer appears in BPI’s official catalog;
- the quoted bag matches the applicable product or SKU;
- the approved size, thickness, color and printing match the project specification;
- private-label Certification Mark requirements have been addressed;
- packing and repeat-order specifications are documented.
The quotation, approved sample, certification information and production specification should describe the same finished product.
For a full verification process, see our BPI Certification Verification page.
MOQ & Repeat B2B Supply
Standard customized production typically starts from approximately 500 kg per specification or design. The equivalent number of bags, rolls or retail packs varies according to bag dimensions, thickness, structure, colour, printing, roll configuration and packaging requirements. Product-specific trial quantities may differ.
Before bulk production, samples can be used to confirm:
- dimensions
- thickness
- roll format
- printing
- packaging
For repeat orders, the approved specification can be retained as the production reference for the bag, roll, carton and shipping configuration.
ORIZON has been manufacturing compostable bags since 2009 and operates an approximately 20,000 m² total manufacturing site with 16 production lines and approximately 500 metric tons/month of production capacity.
For broader manufacturing information, visit our Compostable Bag Factory page.
Documentation Available for BPI Bag Projects
Depending on the finished product and project requirements, available documentation may include:
- BPI certification information
- official BPI product listing reference
- finished-product specification
- TDS / SDS
- artwork approval
- production or batch information
- packing specification
- private-label or sublicense information where applicable
Certification Mark use and private-label claims should follow the applicable BPI licensing requirements.
For ORIZON’s current BPI verification information, see our BPI Certification Verification page.
FAQ
Check the supplier and the exact finished product in BPI’s official Online Product Catalog. Buyers can search by company, product name, brand, SKU or item number.
Do not rely only on a BPI Certification Mark, certificate screenshot or statement that the raw material is certified. The product being purchased should match the applicable current BPI listing and certified specification.
No.
BPI certification verifies compostability within the applicable certification scope, but individual municipalities, organics programs and composting facilities determine which products they accept.
Buyers should separately confirm the requirements of the intended receiving program or facility before placing a large order.
No.
Commercial compostability and home compostability should not be treated as the same claim. Where home compostability is required, buyers should verify whether the specific product is identified as Home Certified in BPI’s current Online Product Catalog and review the applicable certification conditions.
A general BPI certification claim should not be used by itself to represent a product as home compostable.
Not automatically.
Private-label buyers may need a BPI sublicense before using the BPI Certification Mark on their own branded products and packaging.
The sublicense links the original BPI license holder’s certified product and SKU with the private-label customer’s branded SKU.
Customization may be possible, but certification should not be assumed to continue automatically after a product is modified.
Changes to dimensions, thickness, product structure, colour, formulation or printing should be reviewed against the applicable BPI-listed product and certified specification before sampling or mass production.
Buyers should verify the current BPI certificate or certification information, official BPI product/SKU listing, finished-product specification and current certification status.
For custom or private-label projects, additional documentation may include artwork approval, certification-scope information, packing specifications and applicable BPI sublicense documentation.
