Compostability validation

Compostability validation demonstrates that a material or product degrades in a controlled manner under composting conditions, without any harmful effects on the environment. Carried out in accordance with current standards (EN 13432, ISO 14855, ASTM D6400, etc.), this assessment is based on several criteria: biodegradation, physical disintegration, absence of toxicity for the soil and the quality of the resulting compost.

Essential for manufacturers of packaging, bio-based plastics, or single-use products (bags, films, capsules, disposable tableware, etc.), compostability validation is often required to obtain environmental certification (OK compost, TÜV, etc.) or meet regulatory requirements. The study may include industrial or domestic composting tests, depending on the product's intended use. It helps promote eco-designed products and ensure their compliance with a circular economy approach.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
