About Unibag Project
The Unibag project represents a robust commitment to quality and trust… All products produced are backed by the corresponding certifications that guarantee the qualities publicly stated. At Unibag, the certified product is always the final product offered—not just the raw material used to craft it. With a clear focus on national and international laboratory standards and a decorated trajectory of certifications, the project stands as a testament to the pursuit of quality and reliability in every bag produced.

Certifications and Quality Assurance
Certifications form the core of the assurance provided by Unibag. Every product is thoroughly evaluated by reputable national and international laboratories to certify that the qualities communicated to customers are indeed part of the final product. This careful certification process underscores that the product certified is the actual finished product offered to the market—nothing less than that. The level of detail and transparency encapsulated in the certifications helps create an environment where quality assurance and consumer trust are paramount… It’s a promise kept by ensuring that the measures taken during production reflect the highest international standards.
Sustainability Commitment
A passion for sustainability is deeply embedded in the project, reflecting a commitment to a triple impact on environment, society, and economy. Unibag’s sustainable vision is backed by active membership in Sedex—a sign of its dedication to responsible business practices. With commitments that include fair wages, elimination of child labor, safe working conditions, and no form of discrimination, the project highlights a progressive approach to modern manufacturing. In addition, the partnership with Sedex ensures free choice of employment and conscientious management of environmental impacts. There is a genuine drive to contribute to and support sustainable practices that benefit the broader community.
Reusable and Recyclable Innovations
The project not only focuses on quality and sustainability but also pioneers in innovation with its reusable and recyclable bags. The reusable corn starch bags, for instance, undergo thorough evaluation and have been certified by DIN CERTCO in Germany, achieving the maximum accreditation seal for biobased percentage. This emphasizes that every bag is not only eco-friendly but also meets extraordinary quality benchmarks. Moreover, the materiality reports on non-woven textile materials used for reusable vegetable bags reveal that no petroleum-derived polymers are present—instead, the composition is entirely based on polylactic acid (PLA). The technology extends further with the recyclability certification, where tests by the Technology Development Unit (UDT) of the University of Concepción in Chile demonstrate that these PLA-based bags can be recycled back into PLA pellets. It’s a cycle of innovation that resonates with the modern demand for environmentally sound materials.
Compostability and Product Diversity
Further enhancing the sustainable credentials is the Compostability Certification. The fabric used in the manufacture of the reusable vegetable bags has been certified for industrial composting, indicating that the material transforms into compost in less than 180 days under controlled conditions. This certification underscores the commitment to minimizing environmental impact while delivering practical and useful products. The range of products from Unibag has grown to include not only vegetable bags, but also traditional TNT bags, cotton bags, laminated bags, polyester bags, thermal bags, recycling bags sets, pallet covers, cage doors, and reusable sacks—ensuring that various consumer needs are met with an eco-friendly approach. Each product is meticulously designed to balance performance with sustainability.
