EN13432 Standard

EN 13432 is a European standard that defines criteria for packaging materials to be considered compostable and biodegradable. It ensures these materials can break down into natural elements within a specific time frame under composting conditions, without leaving harmful residues. Meeting this standard means the packaging is environmentally friendly, helping reduce waste and pollution. It is often used to certify items like bioplastics, packaging, and other materials that are designed to decompose through industrial composting processes.
