The OK Compost HOME certification system guarantees complete biodegradability according to specific requirements, even in domestic compost.
Our bags are made of biodegradable and compostable material of plant origin. Products made from these materials biodegrade under composting conditions within a maximum of 3 months. The inks used are also biodegradable.
Containers or products bearing the OK Compost Industrial label are guaranteed to be biodegradable in an industrial composting plant. This applies to all components, inks and additives.
The reference point for the certification programme is harmonized standard EN-13432:2000. This means that any product bearing the OK Compost logo complies with the requirements of the European Packaging Directive (94/62/EEC).

Bags made with at least 80% post-consumer recycled plastic, with Der Blaue Engel (Blue Angel) certification. This plastic comes from yellow containers and other post-consumer recycling circuits, and is revalued by being turned into raw material by certified recyclers.

Bags manufactured in conventional Polyethylene, under the specifications of UNE 53.942. This standard indicates the minimum and maximum measures and thicknesses that a polyethylene bag must have to be reused at least 15 times, as well as the maximum CO2 emissions and energy consumption resulting from its production.
The evident environmental benefits of this type of certified bag have been endorsed by numerous analyses of their life cycle, compared to that of the alternatives on the market. These analyses scientifically show that reusable polyethylene bags are the packaging with the lowest environmental impact.
