Behind The Logos: Understanding Product Quality And Certification

TUV AUSTRIA

TUV AUSTRIA is the European body that guarantees compliance of biodegradable and compostable production with the EN 13432 norm, by marking the biodegradable/compostable products with the OK COMPOST, OK COMPOST HOME, and SEEDLING logos.

 

 

 

SEEDLING

TUV AUSTRA is a certification body authorized by European Bioplastics to award the Seedling logo to products which comply with standard EN 13432

OK COMPOST INDUSTRIAL

Products with the OK Compost mark are guaranteed to be biodegradable in an industrial composting system. This applies to all components, inks and additives. The only reference for the certification programm is the EN 13432:2000 standard.  iCOMPOST products with the OK Compost logo comply with EN13432 and the requirements of Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste.

OK COMPOST HOME

Because of the smaller volume of waste to be treated, the temperature in a garden compost heap is much lower and less consistent than in an industrial composting environment. For this reason, the process is slower and more difficult. OK Compost HOME ensures complete biodegradability under domestic composting conditions.

LICENSE OF BRAND MATER-BI

This license mark represents the guarantee of high quality standards in the transformation of biodegradable and compostable material produced by Novamont (a world-leading company) and the commitment to the dissemination of sustainable development models in the field of collection and disposal of solid urban waste and the spread of a biodegradable product culture in all markets as an environmentally friendly product.
