Esen is a purpose-driven global leader in eco-friendly molded pulp technology, committed to delivering innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that empower businesses to achieve their science-based carbon reduction targets.
We manufacture high-performance, fully biodegradable products exclusively from 100% renewable, rapidly regenerating plant-based fibers — including sugarcane bagasse, FSC-certified wood pulp, and bamboo pulp.
New York City generates over 14 million tons of waste per year, making sustainable packaging not just an ethical choice — but a legal and commercial imperative for businesses operating in the five boroughs and beyond.
New York City's Local Law 199 and expanding organic waste mandates now require food service establishments, retailers, and large commercial buildings to compost organic materials. Certified biodegradable packaging from Esen qualifies under these regulations, helping NYC businesses avoid compliance penalties while reducing landfill burden. With the NYC Department of Sanitation expanding curbside composting citywide, demand for certified compostable packaging has surged across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Following New York State's Plastic Bag Ban enacted in 2020, retailers across New York have accelerated the shift to paper-based and molded pulp alternatives. From iconic Midtown Manhattan department stores to neighborhood Brooklyn boutiques, brands are now investing in premium eco-packaging that communicates sustainability values to discerning New York consumers. Esen's custom biodegradable packaging solutions are perfectly positioned to serve this high-demand transition across the retail and e-commerce sectors.
New York City is home to over 27,000 restaurants and one of the world's most competitive food delivery markets, including DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub operations at massive scale. Every meal served requires packaging — and increasingly, that packaging must be compostable or recyclable. Esen's bagasse tableware, molded pulp trays, and sushi packaging solutions are designed to meet the throughput and quality demands of high-volume NYC food service operations, including ghost kitchens emerging across the outer boroughs.
The greater New York region encompasses hundreds of farms across the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and the Tri-State area producing eggs, produce, and specialty agricultural goods. These farms require certified sustainable egg cartons, produce packaging, and protective molded pulp containers that align with the premium, locally-sourced identity their customers expect. Esen's biodegradable molded pulp packaging helps Hudson Valley farms communicate their sustainable brand story from farm to shelf — serving regional grocers, Union Square Greenmarket vendors, and major supermarket chains alike.
Equipped with fully automated, multi-material, and multi-color switchable production lines, Esen is a globally recognized provider of vertically integrated end-to-end capabilities — encompassing proprietary R&D, precision mold engineering, customized equipment adaptation, and scalable manufacturing.
