Eco-Products Europe

What Eco-Products Europe does

Eco-Products Europe is the European regional arm of Eco-Products PBC, a US-based sustainable foodservice packaging company founded in 1993 and operating as a brand under Novolex, a diversified packaging conglomerate. The European entity, headquartered in Ridderkerk (Netherlands) in the Rotterdam area, was established in 2017 and operates with approximately 11 employees serving the EU market. Its core business is the design, sourcing, and direct-to-consumer sale of compostable, recycled-content, and reusable foodservice products — including cups, lids, containers, clamshells, plates, bowls, cutlery, trays, bags, wraps, and straws — to restaurants, cafes, hotels, hospitals, universities, corporate cafeterias, and catering operators across Europe.

The product portfolio is organized into three material platforms: GreenStripe (renewable, compostable sugarcane/bamboo/PLA/wood with EN 13432 and BPI certifications), BlueStripe (post-consumer recycled RPET), and Veda (heavyweight polypropylene reusable containers with OZZI barcode tracking integrated into campus meal-plan systems Atrium and C BORD). Supporting lines include Vanguard (molded fiber with no-added PFAS options), WorldView, Regalia, EcoLid, and World Art, totaling 450+ SKUs and 330+ BPI-certified products. The CIRC Contamination Mitigation Program is offered as a service wrap around core products to help customers manage compost-stream contamination.

Revenue is generated through direct e-commerce sales via ecoproductseurope.com, with customers required to register or contact sales for pricing (no public price list). The company's go-to-market is single-channel (own storefront), with content marketing and B2B social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube "Green Is All We Do") supporting demand generation. Commercial advantages rest on EU Single Use Plastics Directive compliance, B Corp certification maintained for 10 consecutive years, and the operational integration of Veda with OZZI collection systems, which delivers up to 97% container collection rates in deployed programs. No public revenue, funding, or headcount-growth figures are disclosed.
