Compostability Mark of European Bioplastics

The Compostability Mark is a certification program run by European Bioplastics that allows manufacturers to label their products with a recognized mark indicating that the product meets established compostability standards. The mark helps ensure that compostable products can be correctly identified and directed into appropriate composting and organic waste recovery streams, rather than ending up in general waste or recycling processes where they do not belong.

The certification is intended for manufacturers across a wide range of industries who produce products or packaging made from compostable materials, including bioplastics. By carrying the mark, a product communicates verified compostability information to both waste-disposal facility operators and end consumers, supporting more effective sorting and processing at the end of a product's life.

The program operates internationally, with certified products recognized across Europe and in markets spanning Asia, the Americas, Africa, and beyond. For manufacturers looking to substantiate compostability claims and improve the end-of-life pathway for their products, this certification provides a standardized, third-party-backed signal that is meaningful throughout the supply and waste management chain.
