Understanding biodegradable and compostable

A biodegradable and compostable product is suitable to be recovered through biological recycling (thus composting and anaerobic digestion) together with kitchen and garden waste, leaving no harmful residues. A by-product of biologic recycling is high quality compost that is then used as an organic fertilizer. For this reason we need to be sure that bioplastic products are fully compatible with composting process and that they bring no inconvenience neither for the process nor for the product and the environment.

International Home Compostable Standards are generally based on similar criteria such as:

  • Disintegratibility Biodegradability
  • Low level of heavy metals (maximum values are also indicated)
  • No toxic effect of the resulting compost on plants (and also on earthworms for Australian Standard)

Note: Biodegradability should NEVER be an excuse to LITTER.
