Made from Nature. Returns to Nature.
For over twelve years EarthCleanse has been giving new purpose to what agriculture leaves behind: the areca sheath that falls on its own, the sal leaf gathered from a forest floor, the cane fibre a mill would otherwise burn, the husk left after rice is milled. We press, mould and finish them in our own plants into plates, bowls, trays, cups, cutlery and packaging that go out under a brand and come back to soil.
But a kitchen does not run on compostables alone, and pretending otherwise would send you to four other suppliers for everything else. So we make the rest too: aluminium foil, pans and pop-up sheets for the oven; cling film and pan liners for the prep bench; deli containers and takeout boxes for delivery; kraft bags and can liners for the back door; napkins, dispenser tissue and washroom paper for the front of house; nitrile, poly and compostable gloves, cleaning and janitorial chemicals, guestroom amenities and food-handling wear for everything that happens after service. Sixteen product lines and over six hundred products, on one purchase order.
That range is deliberate. A restaurant needs different things from a café, a caterer needs different things from a hotel, and a distributor needs all of it in one shipment. We built a supply chain that covers the whole circle rather than a slice of it: foodservice, takeaway and delivery, catering and events, cafés and coffee shops, hotels and hospitality, retail and grocery, institutional catering, cleaning and hygiene.
And we are not a reseller of sustainability; we are its maker. Almost everyone in this category buys from a factory and adds a margin. We design it, manufacture it in our own plants, and deliver it from our own US warehouses. No broker, no middleman, no sourcing agent. As part of the Bollant group, Bollant Inc in the United States and Bollant Foods Pvt Ltd in India, we own the plants, the process and the outcome.

WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO
What if waste wasn’t the end, but the beginning of something beautiful?
For over twelve years, EarthCleanse has redefined what it means to be truly sustainable. Founded by Srikanth Bolla, the brand was born from a mission larger than a product line: to transform waste into wonder, and consumption into a conscious act of regeneration.
In a world dominated by throwaway culture and hyper-convenience, that question is not rhetorical. It is the one we answer every day on a factory floor.
We believe sustainability should not feel like a compromise; it should feel like progress. That is why our products combine design, durability and deep respect for the planet, in that order of proof. A compostable plate that bends under a meal does more damage to this cause than a plastic one that works.
On plastic, said accurately
Where a job can be done without plastic, we do it without plastic, and that includes the parts most brands quietly keep. The covers, the carry bags, the pack linings you receive from us are compostable too. Plastic is not reduced in those lines. It is absent.
Where it genuinely cannot be, a foil pan that goes in an oven, a deli container a customer will wash and reuse, the cling film every commercial kitchen needs, we make that too, and we label it honestly rather than stretching a word until it means nothing. A supplier who claims no exceptions and then sells you polypropylene has told you something about everything else on their site.
And the part that matters most
Perhaps the most powerful part of our story is not the materials; it is the people. Many EarthCleanse products are crafted by hands too often unseen: women, differently-abled individuals, and artisans from the margins of society, whose skills shape both products and possibilities. With every plate, bowl and bag, they are building not just sustainable goods but lives of dignity, pride and purpose.
Ultimately EarthCleanse is more than a product line. It is a call to rethink how we eat, how we dispose, and how we live, one home, one meal, and one small act at a time.

The founder
EarthCleanse exists because of a decision Srikanth Bolla made when the world told him what he could not do. Born blind, refused a place in science education, he went on to build a manufacturing group that today employs thousands, a majority of them women, many of them differently-abled.
"Built by people the world overlooked, for a planet we all share."
That is not a marketing line. It is the operating principle: over 1,000 farmer partners gathering material that used to rot on the forest floor, plants running on roughly 60% solar, and 4,000+ livelihoods built around turning waste into something worth buying.
Sustainability you can measure
We would rather publish numbers than adjectives. Roughly 60% of our manufacturing runs on solar. Our processes use around 80% less water than comparable plastic manufacturing. Over 1,000 farmer partners gather material that would otherwise decay unused, and more than 4,000 livelihoods are built on the work.
Where a material composts, we say in how long and under what conditions. Where it recycles rather than composts, we say that plainly too, and show the compostable alternative on the same page.
