What materials are used in GreenHabit compostable bags?
Our bags are made from 100% plant-based cornstarch and other natural polymers, certified under BIS/CPCB standards for compostability. They contain no petroleum-based plastics, ensuring safe decomposition into CO₂, water, and biomass within 90 days in composting conditions. This makes them a true eco-alternative to single-use plastics in India.
Are GreenHabit bags food-safe for groceries?
Yes, our compostable bags are food-contact safe, compliant with FSSAI guidelines for packaging. They are non-toxic, free from heavy metals, and tested for migration limits, making them ideal for carrying fruits, vegetables, and other groceries without contamination risks.
What happens if the bags don't compost properly?
In proper home or industrial composting (with moisture, heat, and microbes), they fully break down. In landfills or litter, they degrade slower than plastics but leave no microplastics. We recommend proper disposal and provide vendor education to maximize impact.
How does GreenHabit help with Scope 3 emissions reduction?
Sponsorships directly cut downstream plastic use in your value chain. We calculate CO₂e avoided using IPCC/Indian GHG standards (e.g., 3kg CO₂e per kg plastic diverted). This provides verifiable data for BRSR Principle 6 reporting, with monthly certificates including geo-tagged proof.
Can I integrate GreenHabit metrics into my annual ESG report?
Absolutely—our transparent impact reporting includes plastic diversion, vendor empowerment, and impressions data, aligned with GRI/CDP standards. Sponsors use this for plastic neutrality claims, often boosting ESG scores by 20% in early pilots.
What third-party verification options are available?
We offer optional audits from partners like Carbon Check India or SGS for reasonable assurance on metrics. This ensures your CSR initiatives for plastic waste management are credible and investor-ready.
What makes GreenHabit different from other eco-bag initiatives?
We combine local action (vendors distributing bags) with global impact (brands sponsoring sustainability). It’s a community-driven model that scales change.
What is GreenHabit?

How does partnering with GreenHabit benefits sponsors?
Your logo travels daily—on every eco-bag, reaching real customers while showcasing your commitment to sustainability.

How does GreenHabit connect advertiser with communities?
By sponsoring bags, advertisers support local vendors and build trust with eco-conscious customers who value sustainable choices.
What is the ROI for sponsorships?
Beyond ESG wins, expect 5-50 lakh impressions per month at street level, with CPM lower than digital ads. Early sponsors report enhanced brand perception among eco-conscious consumers, plus measurable CSR reports for plastic neutrality.
What branding guidelines do you follow?
We ensure high-quality printing with eco-inks. Your logo/message must fit bag dimensions (e.g., 12×18 inches). We review designs for clarity and compliance, avoiding misleading claims.
Can I target specific regions or vendors?
Yes—customize distribution to high-footfall UP markets like Lucknow or Ghaziabad. For larger packages, we offer geo-targeted options to align with your retail presence or CSR focus areas.
How do vendors apply for free bags?
Eligible vendors can sign up via our site or WhatsApp. We verify location and distribute monthly based on sponsor funding—simple process, no cost to vendors.
What if bags are misused or not distributed?
We use verified partners and geo-tagged deliveries to ensure proper use. Sponsors receive photos/videos as proof. Misuse cases are rare and handled via vendor agreements.
How do you scale distribution beyond Delhi/NCR?
Starting in Delhi/NCR, we plan expansion to 5 states in 2026. Sponsors can request pilots in new regions, with customized logistics for nationwide reach.
How do vendors contribute to sustainability with GreenHabit?
