Our Certification for Your Products Made from Sustainable Bioplastic.
Materials, packaging and products that can be recycled in industrial composting play a major role in the circular economy. Due to their great potential for meeting stricter disposal requirements, the demand for industrially compostable products made from biodegradable materials is continuously increasing.
In all these cases, the following applies: Buyers demand credible, traceable proof of industrial compostability.
We certify your biodegradable products in accordance with DIN EN 13432 and, if applicable, other national and international standards, and award the two internationally recognized certification marks: our "DIN-Geprüft industrially compostable" test mark and the "Keimling" compostability mark of European Bioplastics e. V. Both marks can be used individually, alternatively or simultaneously, and document the degradability of your products.
Important to know: If the starting material is registered according to DIN EN 13432, you as a manufacturer of end products made from this material may be able to obtain certification with reduced testing effort.
