Separate collection of organic waste is becoming increasingly common. At the same time, an industrial supply chain is developing that produces a range of biodegradable and compostable products, such as shopping bags, fruit and vegetable bags, food service plates, glasses, cutlery, capsules for coffee, as well as different types of packaging for food and other applications.

In this way, the added value of compostable plastics for the circular economy increases. European Union countries also attach special importance to biodegradable and compostable polymers when evaluating the overall role of bioplastics. Recently, the positive role of compostable plastics in implementing the circularity model has been increasingly recognized.

During this year, the European Commission aimed to develop a legal framework for all biodegradable, compostable and durable bio-based bioplastics. This process coincides with the packaging and packaging waste directive, which contains the basic requirements for packaging.

Industrial compostable plastics provide added value through organic recycling as a waste treatment, namely industrial composting and anaerobic digestion. There is still a long way to go before industrial compostable plastics can contribute to the realization of a circular economy. Industrially compostable plastics, certified according to the harmonized European standard EN 13432 for organic recycling of packaging, contribute to efficient waste management and circular conservation of resources. Because the separate collection of biological waste is optimized and helps to divert biological waste from landfills, incineration and mechanical recycling to organic recycling.

Compostable plastics reduce impurities in organic waste collection that often result from improper disposal of conventional, non-biodegradable plastics that end up in the final compost and thus in the environment. It also provides bio-based raw materials that are used to produce bio-based plastics or organic fertilizers. Biodegradable plastics also support biogas production thanks to their processing in anaerobic digestion.

Proven applications for industrial compostable plastics include bio-waste bags, ultra-thin plastic bags, and fruit and vegetable bags. Also include tea bags, coffee capsules, pads, filters, cling film, paper towels, food supplies, such as glasses for perishable foods, trays, plates and cutlery, and flexible packaging.

Our organization always follows domestic and foreign standards, applicable legal regulations and generally accepted practices in certification and labeling studies, and also has a trained and experienced staff and advanced technological facilities. In this context, requesting businesses,It also provides compost certification and C-Label (Compost Labeling) compost labeling services.
