Our Story

A Legacy of Manufacturing, Reimagined
SelfEco was born out of a third-generation manufacturing legacy with a new purpose: to reimagine what responsible production looks like in today’s world. Built on decades of experience and deep-rooted know-how, we set out to create something different. Our goal is to make stylish, functional products with the planet in mind.

Mindful by Design
At SelfEco, we don’t just make things. We make them differently. Our mission is to move beyond outdated practices and embrace a thoughtful approach to manufacturing. Every product is designed with its full lifecycle in mind, from the raw materials we source to how it is composted, recycled, or reused. We take pride in creating with purpose and environmental responsibility.

Leading the Sustainable Shift
Plant-based materials like PLA have existed for years, but few manufacturers have prioritized their potential. SelfEco is proud to be a leader in bringing sustainable solutions to the mainstream. By combining renewable resources with forward-thinking manufacturing, we help caterers, event professionals, and businesses reduce their impact without compromising on quality or design. Sustainability is not a trend. It is the standard we are working to build.
