Plastic-Free and PFAS-Free

EcoSource’s entire product range is plastic-free and PFAS-free. The brand carries the Flustix Plastic Free Trustmark, which requires rigorous quantitative testing to confirm that products contain no measurable plastic content. PFAS-free compliance covers 62 tested regulatory elements, all returning non-detected results. The brand’s packaging spans compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable formats, meeting both home composting and industrial composting standards.

Certified Across the Full Lifecycle

EcoSource holds a comprehensive set of independent certifications covering the full scope of its product and operational lifecycle. These include ISO certificates for food safety, environmental management, and energy management. Packaging also meets EU REACH, FDA, and Halal conformity standards. EcoSource’s vegan product range has been independently verified by The GOOD Shopping Guide.

All of these fantastic efforts not only demonstrate true accountability but a new ethical standard for the packaging industry.

Carbon, Forests, and Responsible Sourcing

EcoSource is carbon balanced through the World Land Trust. Its forestry supply chain holds PEFC chain of custody certification, linking its raw materials to sustainably managed forests. This supply chain awareness is crucial in a sector where even more ‘sustainable’ options can hide unethical practices. By using third party verification, EcoSource ensures it is accountable and supported in ethical sourcing and avoids greenwashing.

An Ethical Innovator

EcoSource’s perfect score and depth of independent certification are among the reasons it has been awarded our Ethical Innovator status, reserved for only our most pioneering brands. This is a mark that reflects a thoroughness of commitment that extends well beyond baseline compliance.

EcoSource’s excellent GSG Ethical Score of 100 places it at the top of our Ethical Packaging Ratings Table, and its Ethical Innovator status sets a clear standard for what responsible packaging looks like in practice.
