Both manufacturers and consumers seek sustainable labeling and packaging options. Developed countries set a target that 2025 percent of all packaging will be recyclable, compostable and reusable by 100.

Some countries are committed to removing single-use plastic and hard-to-recycle materials from the country by 2025. These studies are aligned with a consumer base that is increasingly knowledgeable about global sustainability issues.

These consumers are more environmentally friendly with their spending habits and are looking for like-minded, environmentally conscious brands. Compostability is synonymous with these changes and trends.

Manufacturers can easily determine the compostable properties of their products by referring to the certificates in their packages. But the job doesn't end with just putting tags. Regulations surrounding what can and cannot be certified as compostable are necessary to ensure there is a transparent and consistent industry standard for both businesses and consumers.

The most important international compostable standard today is the EN 13432 standard. This standard includes both industrial and domestic composting processes. For a product to carry a compostable label, all components, including inks and additives, must be biodegradable in an industrial composting facility. The domestic composting process, on the other hand, includes products that will be completely biodegradable in a garden compost pile. The home composting process generally has a lower and less consistent temperature compared to industrial composting. These substances are therefore expected to biodegrade at a slower rate in the home.

For a product to be certified as compostable and to carry this label, the materials used must meet strict guidelines and tests of these two certification standards:

• EN 13432 Packaging - Requirements for packaging that can be recovered by composting and biodegradation - Test scheme and evaluation
• AS 4736-2006: Biodegradable plastic-biodegradable plastics suitable for composting and other microbial treatment

There are strict rules to support claims of whether a product is compostable or contains compostable attributes. If the label and packaging is certified compostable, it is clear what this means in terms of the certificate number, downtime and how the product can be composted.

Advanced laboratories conduct tests to verify the compostability of plastic materials.
