GreenVeil is a science-driven cleantech company based in Ottawa, Canada, on a mission to revolutionize food safety and replace petroleum-based plastics. Powered by a scientific team, we've developed a proprietary, locally sourced biopolymer composite that enables our UltraBiodegradable™ and antimicrobial food-safe packaging and agricultural solutions. UltraBiodegradable™ goes beyond conventional "biodegradable." Our materials naturally dissolve in soil and water without secondary processing, can be tuned to degrade from hours to months, and enrich the soil after use. Our formulations deliver strong antimicrobial protection, UV resistance, and water resistance while maintaining food safety. Our innovations have passed rigorous analyses for food safety, biodegradability, and compostability at recognized independent centers. At GreenVeil, innovation never stops. Alongside today's packaging and agriculture products, we're developing smart spoilage indicators that signal freshness directly on the package—empowering producers and consumers with safer, smarter decisions.

FAQ

What makes GreenVeil products different from regularbiodegradable packaging?

GreenVeil’s UltraBiodegradable™ materials fully dissolve in soil and water — with no need for any secondary actions such as industrial composting. Unlike many “biodegradable” plastics that leave behind microplastics, our products degrade naturally and enrich the soil after use. Other biodegradable options often take a long time to break down and lack the durability needed for different applications. GreenVeil solves both issues by combining strength during use with rapid, complete biodegradation after disposal.

Why do you call your materials UltraBiodegradable™?

We use the term UltraBiodegradable™ because our materials:
- Naturally degrade in soil and water, without secondary actions.
- Break down quickly, with controlled degradation times ranging from hours to months.
- Enrich the soil after degradation, acting as a natural fertilizer.

What types of products do you offer?

We provide two categories of solutions made from similar biopolymer-based materials:
- Food Packaging: wrap film, bin liners, fresh bags, and zip bags, all with food-safe and antimicrobial properties.
- Agricultural Solutions: mulch film, tree covers, fruit trays, and nursery pots (these do not include antimicrobial features).

Are your products food-safe?

Yes. All of our food packaging materials have passed rigorous safety testing and are certified by global standards, including FDA approval and compostability certifications from TÜV, DIN, and BPI.

Can I order small quantities or only in bulk?

You can order both! Small retail orders can be placed directly through our online store. For bulk orders, we offer discounted pricing — please contact us directly for a custom quote.

How does shipping work?

We deliver directly to your address. Shipping is free for orders above $20. For smaller orders, standard shipping rates apply.

Is GreenVeil open to collaborations?

Yes! We welcome collaborations with food producers, retailers, farmers, and research groups. You can also find more information on our collaborations and partnerships in the Partners/Investors tab on the main menu.

Are your materials locally sourced?

Yes. We are proud to use Ontario-sourced natural materials, reducing transportation emissions while supporting the local economy.

Who develops your innovations?

Our products are developed by a multidisciplinary scientific team of PhDs in biology, advanced materials, chemistry, and physics. This ensures our solutions are backed by world-class expertise in microbiology, food safety, materials science, and photonics.

Where is your lab and office located?

GreenVeil’s R&D office is located at the Advanced Research Complex (ARC), Room 522, University of Ottawa, 25 Templeton Street, Ottawa, ON.
