NatureFlex™ films are certified in accordance with the
Industrial composting standards, EN13432 and ASTM D6400, by Din Certco and the BPI. In addition, all standard NatureFlex™ films are suitable for
home composting and have been certified to ‘OK Compost home’ by Vinçotte. They have also been certified to AS4736 by the ABA following successful completion of the worm toxicity test.
In order to achieve the certification from the official agencies, the relevant test programmes must be completed by an independent accredited test house.
Customers who use certified materials can apply for a ‘product certification’, so that products wrapped in certified packaging can carry the relevant composting logo. This logo allows packaging to be disposed of in the most appropriate manner, where the infrastructure exists.
Product certifications can be applied for, based on our NatureFlex™ certifications. The testing requirements and costs involved will vary depending on the complexity of the conversion carried out on the materials.
Customers should seek advice from their Innovia Films contact and/or Din Certco, Vinçotte or AFOR (Association for Organics Recycling).
