Being biodegradable and being compostable are not actually the same thing. Biodegradable (biodegradable) products are products that can be consumed by living microorganisms such as fungi or bacteria. Compostable products, on the other hand, are non-toxic products that can decompose into their natural elements.

Basically, both processes are recovery (recycling) processes. The main difference between them is that biodegradable products take a very long time to decompose, whereas compostable products decompose into their natural elements in a certain time. In simple terms, compostable products are also biodegradable, but biodegradable products do not always mean compostable.

With the increasing demand for environmentally friendly packaging, some manufacturers are labeling products as biodegradable because this does not require any certification. However, these companies have to give up this definition for these products, which will take years to completely break down.

The American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) makes the most accurate definition of the biodegradable property of packaging: The concept of biodegradable refers to a time component of the time it takes for plastic to degrade completely when used for marketing purposes. For substances entering the solid waste stream, it is misleading to claim an unqualified degradable if not completely decomposed within one year after conventional disposal.

For compostable claims, manufacturers must have scientific evidence that all materials become usable compost in a timely manner. This can only be achieved by the C-Label labeling work carried out by our organization. If a product label says biodegradable or compostable, a certificate must be sought.

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. Our organization 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.
