Certification of degradability
No product is made to last forever. There are various end-of-life scenarios for products made from bioplastics. One of these is biodegradability in different environments, such as in an industrial composting plant, in domestic compost, in the soil or in water.
Independent test institutes measure the biodegradability and/or the biobased content on behalf of the customer and confirm this by awarding a test mark. This ensures market transparency and provides guidance for customers and consumers. In Europe, TÜV AUSTRIA (Belgium) and DIN CERTCO (Germany) are the most important certification institutes. In North America, it is the BPI institute.

How does biodegradation in the soil work?
Find out what exactly happens during biodegradation in the soil. Here, using the example of our M·VERA® A5002 mulch film, for which the independent testing institute DIN CERTCO confirms complete soil degradability in accordance with the European standard DIN EN 17033 for mulch films with the "Biodegradable in Soil" certificate.
