Certifications & Compliance Documentation
New Zealand importers buy on documentation. Every shipment leaves Karnataka with the certification stack required by NZ food-safety regulators and Pacific sustainability buyers — pre-packaged for MPI clearance at Auckland or Tauranga.
The compliance baseline for the New Zealand market: ASTM D6400 testing for industrial compostability, USDA BioPreferred for verified plant origin, LFGB §30/§31 for food-contact safety (a globally recognised standard accepted by NZ buyers as best-in-class), BSCI for social compliance, and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 for quality and environmental management. EN 13432 certification is in progress — palm leaf is naturally biodegradable and composts in 90–120 days under industrial conditions.

Are your plates suitable for HoReCa and event catering in NZ?
Yes. Plates are oven-safe to 180°C, microwave-safe, and hold hot food, sauces and oily curries without warping or leaking. Suitable for restaurants, catering events, marae kai, festivals and trans-Tasman premium events.
Can you supply New Zealand private-label palm leaf plates?

How does Ecodyne guarantee year-round supply?
Ecodyne maintains 3 million+ units in standing inventory across plates, bowls and platters. Combined with 4.5 million units monthly production from 90 distributed manufacturing units, supply does not pause during the Indian monsoon — a common failure mode for smaller suppliers.
