Certified Standard Logos for Biodegradable & Compostable Plastics

The Home Compostable verification logo helps consumers clearly identify and differentiate packaging materials as home compostable and biodegradable. Since the demands for environmentally friendly packaging increases, companies are ambitiously developing new packaging designs which are home compostable. With this change in the industry market, consumers are encouraged to ‘keep up the date’ with the latest compostable logos and what they mean.
