Vegware holds the deepest set of compostability certification in the sector. Vegware’s full product range can be commercially composted with food scraps where accepted. Independent bodies have certified its products can break down in under 12 weeks in industrial composting facilities. The most widely used compostability standards are the European EN13432 and the American ASTM D6400. As well as certifications from the Biodegradable Product Institute (BPI) Compostable in Industrial Facilities, TUV AUSTRIA OK Compost INDUSTRIAL, and Compost Manufacturing Alliance Composter Approved. They are largely equivalent, and include the following elements:
Materials turn to soil through microbial action at the same rate as cellulose (paper)
The materials fall into small pieces
Seeds can germinate in the resulting compost – i.e. it is useful for plant growth
The compost is safe to go onto land
