What Contribution Does C-Label Contribute to the Industry?

Since the introduction of biodegradable plastics, confusion and skepticism have reigned over the claims and product performance. This is largely due to plastic products that are not biodegradable as expected, but can make claims because they lack science-based testing methods and standards.

What Contribution Does C-Label Contribute to the Industry?

Non-degradable plastics cost the compost industry millions of dollars each year, adding to the processing costs. They increase the percentage of material that is unsellable and must be thrown away. Remaining pieces of plastic degrade the value of the compost, creating opportunities for lost income.

Working with businesses under the C-Label program, their scientific expertise can be leveraged to ensure that products actually meet ASTM D6400 "Specifications for Compostable Plastics" or ASTM D6868 "Specification for Biodegradable Plastic Coatings on Paper and Other Compostable Substrates."

As an easy-to-identify symbol around the world, the C-Label strives to minimize the confusion that has existed in the compost industry for the past 15 years.

The C-Label compostable product certification program is not only advantageous for the industry, producer and consumer, but also extremely beneficial in terms of ecology and sustainability.

Our organization provides very different certification services for businesses in various sectors and carries out the necessary testing, analysis, control and evaluation activities within this framework. In these works, it always follows domestic and foreign standards, applicable legal regulations and generally accepted practices. In this framework, it also provides compost certification and C-Label (Compost Labeling) compost labeling services to businesses that request it.
