CERTIFICATIONS
Certifications explained
EN 13432 — EU Compostability Standard
The harmonised European standard: 90%+ biodegradation within 6 months, plus disintegration and ecotoxicity limits. The basis for EU compostability claims on the poncho film.
OK Compost HOME — TÜV Austria
Home-compostability mark: verified to biodegrade at ambient temperatures in a backyard pile within 12 weeks. The whole raincoat goes into organic waste alongside food scraps.
OK Compost INDUSTRIAL — TÜV Austria
Industrial-compostability mark: verified to biodegrade at 58°C+ in managed facilities. Covers the film and heat-welded seams as one unit.
SGS
Third-party laboratory verification of the film mechanical and water-resistance performance — audit reports available on request.
OEM / ODM

Full front-and-back 4-colour flexographic printing. Custom thickness from 25 to 50 microns. Custom colour (MOQ 1 ton). Kids size, extended length, or oversized cut on custom order. Individually packed or bulk-packed options. Minimum 1 ton for fully custom production.
FACTORY CAPABILITIES
Esinle OEM Capabilities
The selected format can be reviewed against these Guangzhou manufacturing capabilities. Final feasibility, tolerances and MOQ are confirmed in the approved specification.

Width, gusset depth and length can be reviewed against your packaging-line requirements and converting limits.
Printing & Branding
Flexographic artwork, colour count, print coverage and plate requirements are checked before MOQ and pricing are confirmed.
In-House Compounding
PLA, PBAT and starch blend options are selected around flexibility, strength, processing and the documented claim required for the SKU.
BEHIND EVERY PRODUCT
Integrated production in Guangzhou
The workflow covers compounding, film blowing, printing and bag conversion, with the order specification used as the reference for in-process and final checks.
USE CASES
Applications
Marathon, festival, and stadium event rain plans
bulk emergency rainwear for crowds of 5,000–100,000 — one compostable poncho per guest replaces one PE poncho destined for landfill
Theme parks and tourist attractions
branded rain ponchos that match the venue's zero-waste commitment — sold at retail or issued at the gate during weather alerts
Agricultural and horticultural field crews
single-shift rain protection for planting, harvest, and greenhouse teams — composts at end of season instead of accumulating in farm waste piles
Construction, cleaning, and outdoor logistics
disposable rainwear for temporary and contract workers — no laundry logistics, no shared-garment hygiene questions
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Not designed for multi-day reuse — compostable films begin to soften with prolonged moisture and UV exposure; specify for single-event or single-shift duty. Not suitable for sustained contact with heat sources or open flame. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight; shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it really waterproof?
Yes — the PBAT/PLA co-extruded film is fully impermeable, equivalent to a conventional PE poncho in water resistance. Seams are heat-welded, not stitched, so there are no needle holes to leak. It is rated for sustained heavy rain for the full duration of a single outdoor event or work shift.
What happens to it after use?
It goes into organic waste — the entire poncho is certified compostable. In regions with organic-waste collection, it goes straight into the green bin with food scraps. OK Compost HOME certification means it also breaks down in a well-maintained backyard compost heap within 12 weeks. No special facility required.
Can I print our event logo on it?
Yes — up to 4-colour flexographic printing on the front chest and full back panel. Minimum 1 ton for custom print with 15-day proof turnaround. For large event orders we recommend the full-back panel placement: it is the highest-visibility branding surface you will ever get for the cost of a rain poncho.
