European environmental legislation is becoming increasingly strict. Governments stimulate all industries to use as many recycable or biologically degradable materials as possible and to bring such products on the market. Consumers attach more and more value to the environment. "Green" labels or certificates on products are becoming increasingly familiar to consumers. The OK-compost certificate guarantess that the raw material is degradable within 12 weeks in an industrial composting plant. Complete biodegradation takes 6 months. Sometimes, this degradation requires a temperature peak. Therefore, these products cannot be composted at home, which is possible with products carrying an OK-compost Home certificate. This certificate guarantees that the raw material can be composted in a private composting appliance, and that it will have no negative influence on the quality of the compost. Click here to return.
