Warmly celebrate the passing of industrial composting certification of polypetrochemical biodegradable materials

2.

Packaging films/bags, garbage bags, pet waste bags and shopping bags,

3.

Polypetrochemical DEG-2 series

 PLA injection/extrusion material

1.

It is mainly based on PLA modified system, taking into account good temperature resistance and toughness, good processability and high mechanical properties

Plastic cutlery, tableware and other daily-use plastics; thin-walled injection molding parts such as storage boxes; extruded sheets, blister parts

Industrial Compost Certification Center

DIN CERTCO (German Institute for Standardization Certification Center) belongs to the certification body of TüV Rheinland.

The Japan Bioplastics Association (JBPA) Greenpla industrial composting certification also adopts the report issued by the DIN CERTCO accredited laboratory

Industrial Composting Certification Mark

DIN CERTCO administers the following four internationally recognized certification marks for industrial composting:

("Seedling", "DIN-Geprüft", BPI and "ABA Seedling - AS 4736"), two home composting mark certifications ("DIN-Geprüft", and "ABA-AS 5810") and other environmental certifications such as bio-based certification,

Industrial Compost Certification Test Standard

Laboratory tests are currently available to the following industrial composting standards:

DIN EN 13432:2000

Requirements for assessing the recyclability of packaging through composting and biodegradation, suitable for biodegradable plastic packaging processed by industrial composting;

At least 90% disintegration rate after 12 weeks, at least 90% biodegradation rate within 6 months, and ecotoxicity test and heavy metal content detection are required

ASTM D 6400-12

Standard Specification for the Labeling of Compostable Plastics in Municipal and Industrial Facilities

ISO 17088-2012

Technical specification for compostable plastics

DIN EN 14995:2007

Applicable to all types of plastic products - evaluation of compostability - testing and technical specifications

ASTM D6868-17 

Standard Specification for Aerobic Compostable Degradation Labeling of Plastics and Paper or Other Materials Using Plastics as Coatings or Additives for Use in Municipal and Industrial Facilities

GB/T 20197-2006

Definition, classification, marking and degradability requirements of degradable plastics

GB/T 28206-2011 

Technical requirements for compostable plastics

AS 4736-2006

Biodegradable plastics - biodegradable plastics suitable for composting and other microbial treatments

The above standards include the following test items: chemical properties such as prohibited heavy metals and fluorine content, biodegradability, disintegration ability under composting conditions, verification of compost quality through plant growth and/or vermitoxicity tests,
etc.

At present, the evaluation standards and certification systems for industrially compostable plastics tend to mature, but because industrial composting relies on municipal/commercial composting facilities, some areas may not have the conditions for industrial composting
