Cardboard and paper are not compostable because they are made of paper paste and chemical additives. However, they are recyclable. A single fiber paper can be recycled up to 10 times.

Molded pulp products are compostable if they are made of vegetable residues and without any chemical additives. In this case, they are in accordance to the EN 13432 norm.

By definition, wood is compostable and biodegradable when it is completely natural. However, wooden products are often associated with plastic, paper, glue, or inks. In this case, it wouldn't be a 100% compostable product. Wood is also easily recycled; it can be transformed into chips and used once again.

These are forestry certifications concerning the sustainable management of forests. They guarantee an eco-aware management process. This certification is very common among European and North American forests.

A biodegradable product is the one that can be easily decomposed by microorganisms without adding any chemical products. Time for biodegradability will depend on the amount of oxygen, the relative humidity rate, and temperature.

Created in 2009, this label measures the amount of carbon coming from renewable sources regarding fossil carbon inside a matter, in order to give value to products coming from renewable sources. According to the renewable raw materials rate (% bio based) inside a product, products can be certified as "1 star bio based," "2 stars bio based," "3 stars bio based," or "4 stars bio based."

This is a European label diffused by the Belgium agency Aib Vinçotte, which guarantees that the components of a product can be composted in an industrial or professional composting zone without detrimental effects to the compost quality. When time comes for decomposition, the highest possible temperature is needed of more than 131°F A second OK Compost Home label exists that guarantees that the components of the product can be composted in a private compost or in a drum. If the composting process goes well, the product will decompose itself within several months.

Composting is a natural biological process that gives value to organic matters and allows its conversion into a high humic product when in the presence of oxygen. At the end of the composting process, we get compost or humus, which can be directly used in agriculture. By composting, we avoid costly and polluting incinerators, and we give value to our waste.

The difference comes from the temperature and the composting time. Industrial composting requires a temperature of 167°-176°F, a humidity rate of 65-70%, and an oxygen rate of 18-20%. In these conditions, composting takes around 12 weeks. In garden compost, temperature never exceeds 104°F and humidity will depend on the time of the year, the season, and the latitude. Composting can take up to several months.

A recycled product is fully or partially made of waste. The most common recycled product is glass or the recycled paper, made of paper waste. A recyclable product can be reused by recycling or by industrial processing.

Biodegradable and compostable don't mean the same thing. A biodegradable product can be decomposed by microorganisms, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will produce good quality compost (humic). Consequently, a biodegradable product is not necessarily compostable. However, a compostable product is necessarily biodegradable.

Biodegradable products have a vegetal origin. The whole biodegradation process takes several months under the ground. Products that can be degraded (or divided into several fragments) come from an oil-producing origin, they made of polyethylene PE and chemical additives. With the presence of oxygen, under the effect of heat and UV rays, they lose their mechanical resistance, break up into several particles, and visually disappear.

This is a European label diffused by the German Agency Din Certco, which equivalent is the norm EN 13432 regarding biodegradability and composting.

Created in 1992, the European ecological label is the only official label that can be used in all the member states of the European Union. For now, it is mostly affixed on the cleaning household products.

This is the European norm concerning packaging and packaging waste. This norm establishes the requirements regarding the value we can give to the packaging by composting and biodegradation. It rests in 5 firm foundations: composting, biodegradability, disintegration, final compost quality, and eco toxicity.

The green spot label means the company has made a contribution to an authorized recycling organization, but it doesn't mean that the product is recycled.

PLA and PSM are vegetal synthetic resins coming from starch. PLA is the abbreviation for polylactic acid or polylactide, which is a result of the sugar or starch fermentation. It is a transparent material, resistant and insipid, a natural alternative to polyethylene, 100% biodegradable, and compostable. PSM (abbreviation for PLA starch material) is a starch polymer, solid and microwave-resistant, 100% biodegradable, and compostable.

Created in 1991, this label requires some eligibility criteria concerning highly toxic materials used by the most traditional polluting industries (painting, varnish, house furnishings, and bag industry).

Due to the variety of materials and designs, our products are manufactured in different countries around the world, including Europe, Asia, USA, and Africa.
