Why Certification Matters
Third-Party Verification
Independent labs test products to ensure they meet strict biodegradability, disintegration, and ecotoxicity requirements.
Avoid Greenwashing
Certifications prevent misleading claims. Products without certification may not actually compost in real-world conditions.
Facility Acceptance
Commercial composters require certified products. Without certification, packaging may be rejected and sent to landfill.
