Ecopol was founded in 2009 in the heart of Tuscany (Italy) with the idea of helping people safeguard the unique landscape that surrounds us and, ultimately, our wonderful planet.

Our products are used in many different applications; from the packaging of household cleaners to that of agricultural chemicals, through the treatment of swimming pools and SPAs to many other applications, our idea has always been the same: to provide the consumer with a product that is easy to use, safe and ecological.

In 2020, the construction of the new plants - Plant 1 and Plant 2 - was completed, which allows Ecopol to have the highest PVA film production capacity in Europe.

In October 2022, the construction of Plant 3 was completed, which enriches Ecopol's PVA production capacities, using advanced technologies, consolidating its position of absolute importance in the European market.

The path of growth and investment in research does not stop and was further confirmed in May 2023 with the completion of the construction of the new overseas production plant in the USA in Georgia.
