Corn Fiber Tea Bag

Ekoroll Corn Fiber Tea Bag is a plastic-free, biodegradable tea bag manufactured from renewable corn-based fiber. Designed for tea brands, private label producers, horeca distributors and packaging importers seeking a certified sustainable alternative to nylon and PET tea bags, it delivers high brewing performance without microplastic release.

As consumer awareness of microplastics in food and beverages grows and EU sustainability regulations tighten, corn fiber tea bags are becoming the standard for brands positioning themselves in the premium and eco-conscious segment.

For a complete sustainable beverage service solution, combine with our lid-free hot paper cups and bagasse food containers.

Why Corn Fiber — Not Nylon or PET

Conventional tea bags are manufactured from nylon (polyamide) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate) mesh. Both are plastic-based materials. Studies have shown that nylon and PET tea bags release billions of microplastic and nanoplastic particles per cup during hot water infusion. These particles are ingested by the consumer with every cup.

Corn fiber tea bags eliminate this problem entirely. Made from polylactic acid (PLA) derived from renewable corn starch, the mesh is fully biodegradable and compostable. No plastic. No microplastics. No fossil-derived materials in the filtration mesh.

• Zero plastic in the filtration mesh
• No microplastic or nanoplastic release during hot water infusion
• Renewable raw material derived from corn starch
• Fully biodegradable and compostable under certified conditions
• Food-contact safe and approved for direct beverage use

Switching to a sustainable tea bag material does not require any compromise on brewing performance. Ekoroll corn fiber tea bags are engineered to meet the technical requirements of professional tea production and premium retail packaging.

• High water permeability for optimal infusion speed and flavor extraction
• Heat resistant and structurally stable in boiling water throughout the full brew cycle
• No flavor transfer from the mesh material to the tea
