​

Applications:

Packaging materials, food service items, agricultural films, and disposable products.

​

Standards for Certification:

                  •EN 13432: The European standard for compostability, specifying requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation.

​

ASTM D6400: The American standard for labeling of plastics designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities.

ISO 17088: International standard specifying procedures and requirements for compostable plastics.

 

Advantages:

 

                  1.Complete Breakdown: Compostable products break down into natural elements like CO2, water, and biomass, leaving no harmful residues or microplastics behind.

                  2. Reduced Landfill Waste: Compostable materials can be disposed of in composting facilities, reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills.

                  3. Soil Enrichment: Compostable products contribute to creating nutrient-rich compost, which can improve soil health and support agricultural practices.

                  4.Compliance with Environmental Regulations: Many regions are implementing regulations that favor compostable over conventional plastics, making these products more compliant with new laws and helping businesses avoid fines.

                  5.Safer Disposal: Compostable materials decompose naturally and more quickly than traditional plastics, minimizing the environmental impact of product disposal.
