A South African company on a mission to replace single-use plastic with science-backed, internationally certified biodegradable solutions — globally.
Bio Tech Africa was founded on a simple but urgent belief: that Africa deserves better than plastic. As one of the top 15 countries globally in plastic waste mismanagement, South Africa faces a growing environmental crisis — one that demands local, practical, certified solutions.
We are in the implementing stage of manufacturing biodegradable and biocompostable granules used to produce carry bags, cutlery, straws, sanitary napkins, mulch film, and more. Every product is created from agricultural materials that decompose naturally when introduced to the environment — leaving no toxic legacy in soil, water, or air.
As an internationally certified, 100% biodegradable products company, we are proud to be part of a global environmental transformation — driving meaningful change, socially and economically.
"Saving the Planet is in Our Hands — and we mean that literally."
No plastics added at any stage of production. Every Bio Tech Africa product is made entirely from agricultural bio-based materials — and returns to the earth without a trace.
Not reduced plastic. Not recycled plastic. No plastic at all.
Made from agricultural materials, not fossil oil.
Unlike oxo-degradable plastics, our products break down completely — nothing harmful left behind.
Decomposes naturally in 6-12 months; composts in as little as 3-6.
With 34 African countries banning single-use plastics and South Africa actively amending environmental policy, the demand for certified biodegradable alternatives is no longer optional — it's legislative. Bio Tech Africa is positioned as the compliant, certified, and ready-supply solution for businesses navigating this shift.
Our products are exempt from plastic bans by virtue of meeting prescribed international biodegradability and compostability standards — giving procurement teams the compliance confidence they need.
