bioplastics standards

Bioplastics standards set clear criteria to ensure products are environmentally friendly and meet safety, quality, and performance expectations. They define aspects like biodegradability, compostability, raw material sources, and manufacturing processes. These standards help consumers, businesses, and regulators verify that bioplastics genuinely reduce environmental impact, break down naturally, and are derived from renewable resources. Consistent standards promote transparency and trust, encouraging wider adoption of sustainable plastics while preventing greenwashing—deceptive claims about environmental benefits. Overall, bioplastics standards aim to ensure that these materials are genuinely more sustainable and reliable for both the planet and users.
