Timeline

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION.
THE ECOSAFE STORY.

1999
It all started with a diaper. Over twenty years ago, one of our founders, Dick Freeman, worked with a client who developed a new diapering system and had an idea – what if they were able to make the plastic in a diapers biodegradable?

2000
Plastic Solutions Canada Inc. was born. Founded by Jim Brownlee, Scott Hean, and Dick Freeman, the biodegradable diaper project led to developing technology that enabled plastics to become biodegradable.

A lot of lessons were learned along the way, but eventually, the diaper concept had to be abandoned after running into patent troubles.

2004
Dick was working with Phil Ragan and had teamed up with Ric Mallett to accelerate our sales efforts of our new product, a compostable doggie bag. With a new product and strong relationships with BASF, our compostable resin supplier, and Dakota Western, a First Nations owned manufacturing facility, the company evolved into EcoSafe Zero Waste and began growing.
