MINGKAI Paper Products
Changsha Mingkai Paper Products Co., Ltd. · Hunan, China

We drafted the standard that Chinese laboratories test biodegradable paper-plastic composites against.

Mingkai is the first drafting unit of DB43/T 2844-2023 and holds flustix certification. We help European buyers turn compostable and plastic-free claims into documentation that survives EmpCo, PPWR and SUPD — not adjectives that fall apart in an audit.

01

The standard

DB43/T 2844-2023 defines how biodegradable paper-plastic composites are classified, tested and labelled in China. Mingkai is its first drafting unit.

02

The certification

flustix verifies plastic-free and microplastic-free claims through accredited laboratories. Every licence is publicly searchable by number.

The documents

Declarations of conformity, migration test reports, material statements, fibre origin — the paper trail a QA team actually asks for.

Why this matters to a European buyer in 2026

Three changes in EU rules turned “our packaging is eco-friendly” from a marketing line into a document you have to produce on request.

01
Claims need third-party evidence
From 2026, EU rules require environmental claims on products and packaging to be substantiated by independent verification. A supplier's own declaration is no longer a sufficient basis for a green claim.
02
The 95/5 threshold decides your fees
PPWR treats fibre-based packaging with at most 5% non-paper content as recyclable in the paper stream, with materially lower EPR fees than composite materials. The number that matters is measured, not estimated.
03
Your supplier's paperwork is your exposure
If an importer cannot produce a traceable certificate or test report when asked, the claim — and the listing — is exposed. Most sourcing failures are documentation failures, not manufacturing failures.

Three things we can be held to

We do not describe capability. We point at records.

01
A category definition you can cite
DB43/T 2844-2023 was proposed by the Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, administered by the Hunan Circular Economy Standardization Technical Committee, and drafted by 12 organisations with Mingkai as first drafting unit. It sets out classification, degradation performance, heavy metals, antibacterial performance and labelling for paper-based materials coated with PLA or water-based dispersions. Read the scope →
02
Third-party proof, not adjectives
flustix determines plastic content in ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories and issues licences that anyone can look up. Licence number, testing laboratory, certification body and validity are public — including to your customers. Check the licence →
03
The file set your QA team asks for
Declaration of conformity, migration test reports, composition statements, composting certificates and fibre origin — issued with dates and version numbers, superseded files withdrawn rather than quietly left online. See the list →

Everything on this site can be checked

A compliance page that cannot be verified is just a nicer-looking claim. These four things resolve to something outside our own website.

  • The standard number resolves to a public record at the Hunan market regulator.
  • The flustix licence number resolves to an entry in the flustix database.
  • Every test report names the laboratory, the method and the date.
  • Documents carry issue dates; superseded versions are withdrawn, not left online.

Who makes it, and who documents it

Mingkai is an export entity. Manufacturing is carried out by Hunan Miaogong Environmental Technology, the group's production base in the Changsha Huanghua Comprehensive Bonded Zone. Product forms, specifications and tooling are maintained on our manufacturing site — this site stays on the compliance side of the conversation.
