Classification of Compostable Products

Plastics cannot be recycled infinitely, so we need to consider what happens at the end of the material's life. A new class of biomaterials has been introduced in the bioplastics industry in recent years: compostable bioplastics. 

Classification of Compostable Products

These materials provide the same essential properties of conventional plastics, but at the end of their life they biodegrade and become compost. There is a wide variety of compostable bioplastics that are basically divided into two classes: industrial (or commercial) compostable and home compostable.

For your product or material to claim compliance with compostable standards, it may need to be classified as certified compostable for industrial composting or home composting.

Compostable bioplastics can generally be divided into two classes, industrial composting or home composting. A compostable product defines a plastic that has been independently certified that meets the requirements of the required standards and standards, as well as meets the relevant performance criteria.

For products or packaging to be designated compostable, they must biodegrade and decompose in a composting system (under commercial or home composting conditions) to determine levels over a period of time. Compost must also meet certain quality criteria regarding ecotoxicity and other properties. Compostable plastics reduce environmental impact at end-of-life.

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.
