Industrial Compost > EU Standard and Certification
Frequent questions
The EU standard specifies how the complete biodegradation of a package must be demonstrated. This proof must be provided for all components of the packaging (e.g. labels, inks, adhesives). Only products that can be shown to comply with the EN 13432 standard may be labelled with the protected markings.
They have TUV AUSTRIA OK INDUSTIRAL COMPOST certification, in accordance to EN-13432 standard.
At the European level, TÜV Austria is specialised in certifications for compostability and is one of the best organisations in this field.
The European Norm about compostability of packaging (EN 13432) requires (besides a clear and detailed description of the product) 4 tests:
test on biodegradation (chemical break down of the polymer of fibres)
test on disintegration (physically falling apart of the product in small fragments)
test on ecotoxicity (test if the composted product does not exert any negative effect on plants)
test on heavy metals content
