What Dagöplast does

Dagöplast AS is an Estonian private limited company founded in 1998 and headquartered at Spordi 4, Käina on Hiiumaa island, manufacturing plastic films, bags, and tapes for waste management, retail/HORECA, industrial, agricultural, food, automotive, and construction-utility end markets. Core technology centers on polyethylene film extrusion, including blown film extrusion and multi-layer coextrusion (mono, 2-layer, and 3-layer coex films) across multiple production lines, with the largest extruders capable of producing tubes up to 3 meters in width and printing up to 6 colors. An in-house laboratory supports quality and material testing. The product portfolio spans six categories — trash bags, shopping bags, films and tubes, tyre bags, cable protection tapes, and aprons — offered across four material types: compostable/biodegradable (BioBag brand, certified to EN 13432, ASTM D6400, AS 4736), green polyethylene derived from sugarcane (GreenPolly brand), recycled polyethylene (RecyPolly brand), and virgin polyethylene.

The company operates a B2B direct sales model with a dedicated sales team, quote-based per-order pricing, 30-day payment terms, and delivery under Incoterms 2020 FCA. Orders are processed via dedicated email channels (order@, purchase@, quality@) with confirmation within three working days, and the business is supported by a multi-language website and Facebook presence. Geographic reach is global with a European focus — particularly Nordic countries and the Baltics — leveraging the BioBag Group distribution network across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, and the US. Dagöplast has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioBag Group since 2015, which itself was acquired by Italian bioplastics firm Novamont in 2021, placing Dagöplast within a vertically integrated compostable/bioplastic value chain. The firm holds ISO 9001, 14001, 22000, and 45001 certifications (valid through August 2028), has run on 100% green energy since 2019 with rooftop solar installed in 2023, and has drawn approximately €2.45M in EU/EAS/ERDF grant funding across 2020–2023 for resource efficiency, digital diagnostics, and green transition initiatives.
