Compostable and environmentally friendly products are on the rise. If a manufacturer is making the transition to selling environmentally friendly and compostable products, it is important to affix a label that states this on the products. However, there are actually too many compostable product labels on the market today.

It is necessary to learn more about what these labels mean to consumers. First of all, the terms biodegradable and compostable do not mean the same thing.

Compostable products must be broken down into carbon dioxide, water and inorganic compounds. Compostable crops provide nutrients to the soil and can be composted at home or in a composting facility. On the other hand, biodegradable products decompose and return to nature or even disappear completely. Biodegradable products are mainly absorbed by the environment.

Product labels are a bit confusing, especially labels that say the product is green. Like its natural expression in the food industry, products labeled green can have different meanings. In short, products labeled green are products that have less environmental or human impact than conventional products. These products are often locally sourced, do not contain harmful chemicals, and are made from recyclable or reusable materials. Some may be compostable or biodegradable.

Recycled and renewable materials are also confusing in this regard. Recycled products come from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste such as scrap, toilet paper rolls, newspapers and aluminum cans. Renewable materials include palm oil, grape seed oil, bamboo and other plant or animal materials. These materials can be reproduced in a short time in a natural process. However, they are not always recyclable.
