Tell us what you need and the spec that defines it. We turn one inquiry into a controlled specification, run it across qualified producers on identical terms, and return a normalized side-by-side, so you compare bids, not brochures.
ECS is a vendor-neutral sourcing desk for bio-based industrial ingredients: biochar, bioplastic resin, sustainable mineral fillers, and fermented bio-actives. The form below is how that work starts. You do not need a finished specification to begin; partial details are fine, and the intake adapts as you fill it in. The more you can name now, the faster the first quote returns.
What to include
A quote is only comparable when every producer answers the same questions. Where you can, tell us:
- The material or outcome you are sourcing, for example biochar, bioplastic resin, calcium aragonite, chitosan, or compostable packaging.
- The application and grade, so we write the right parameters into the spec.
- The specification that matters for your use, such as fixed carbon and surface area for biochar, the compost certification for packaging, or the degree of deacetylation for chitosan.
- The certifications you must hold, and any contaminant ceilings or documentation your buyer or regulator requires.
- Volume and delivery geography, so the bid is a landed price you can act on.
What happens next
Once you submit, our sourcing desk writes a single controlled specification from your inputs and issues it to qualified producers in the network. We require a per-batch lab report, verify every certification and carbon claim against its issuing registry, and normalize each bid to one landed unit so quotes from producers with different packaging and freight finally compare. Comparable bids typically return in two to four weeks, depending on the material and volume.
If you are still deciding which material fits, the resource library covers the spec literacy behind each one, and the solutions and technologies hubs organize the decision by outcome and by material. When you are ready, the form below starts the RFQ.
