ECOVITA LIMITED

What ECOVITA LIMITED does

Ecovita Limited, operating through its US legal entity Blasso, LLC (San Diego, California), is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer of 100% compostable single-use tableware. The company sells plant-based cutlery made from crystallized polylactic acid (CPLA) derived from Non-GMO corn, alongside plates and bowls produced from bamboo and bagasse (sugarcane byproduct). Products are BPI-certified, ASTM D6400 and EN13432 compliant, manufactured in FDA-registered facilities, PFAS- and BPA-free, and designed to break down in industrial composting in 2-4 months versus 400+ years for conventional plastic. The catalog spans roughly ten SKUs covering forks, spoons, knives (140-piece sets and 380-piece combo sets, including a bamboo alternative), plates in 7-inch, 9-inch, and compartmentalized formats, and bowls in 12oz, 16oz, and 32oz sizes, priced between roughly $30 and $75 per box.

The business operates as a Shopify-hosted DTC storefront (ecovita.co) selling primarily to individual eco-conscious consumers, with secondary outreach to event planners, caterers, food-service operators, and community organizations. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases with a VIP 15% discount applied to orders of five or more units, free US shipping, and a 60-day money-back guarantee; international shipping is offered on 5+ unit orders. Distribution is direct only — no physical retail or wholesale channel is disclosed. Marketing relies on content (a 'Learn' section contrasting compostable vs. biodegradable claims), social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), email capture, and on-site customer reviews.

Strategically, Ecovita positions around sustainability certifications, carbon-neutral shipping via Shopify Planet, and a 5% profits pledge to environmental causes. The entity is privately held with no disclosed external funding, headcount, management team, or financial statements; firmographic data lists a 2001 founding date and an Ashford, UK address, while the operating legal entity is a California LLC distributing on behalf of the Ecovita brand — a structural discrepancy worth noting. The company is best characterized as a small, bootstrapped, brand-led DTC distributor in the eco-tableware niche rather than a scaled manufacturing or technology business.
