European Bioplastics believes that certified compostable plastics are essential in achieving a circular economy and calls for the recognition of their important role within municipal biowaste management:

  • They are designed for organic recycling.
  • They help to safeguard separate waste streams.
  • They help to increase the collection of biowaste.
  • They help to ensure the quality of digestate and compost.
  • They are suitable for anaerobic digestion streams that treat municipal biowaste and include different pre- and post-treatment processes.
