Furthermore, what is BPI certified compostable?BPI Certified Compostable Products. The BPI certification program applies science-based testing to prove a material will compost in a municipal or commercial facility and leave no toxic or lingering plastic residues in the soil.Also, what is ASTM d6400? ASTM D6400 is the standard specification for solid material biodegradation (by composting) required for labeling of plastics designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities. Furthermore, what is ASTM d6868? ASTM D6868 is a standard method that incorporates plastics and polymers as coatings or additives with paper and other substrates designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities. The guidelines for ASTM D6868 are often used after testing materials with a standard method such as ASTM D6400.What is difference between compostable and biodegradable?The primary difference between compostable and biodegradable is that compostable products require a specific setting in order to break down, whereas biodegradable products break down naturally. Typically composting is a faster process, but only under the right conditions.
