DIN Home Compostable

We, at Biopouches, are excited to announce that we have received the DIN Home Compostable Certification. This certification signifies a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and producing products that have a positive impact on the environment.


The Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) Home Compostable Certification is a globally recognized accreditation that verifies a product's compostability in a home composting environment. It is an endorsement of environmental responsibility and sustainable manufacturing practices, allowing consumers and businesses alike to choose products that reduce their environmental impact.


Administered by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), the certification serves as an essential benchmark for sustainability. The institute is known for its meticulousness in setting and monitoring standards, reflecting the German tradition of precision and high quality.


Obtaining the DIN Home Compostable Certification requires a rigorous process of third-party testing and evaluation. Products must comply with the DIN EN 13432 and DIN EN 14995 standards for compostable plastics, which ensure the material can fully decompose under specific conditions. The product must not only disintegrate within a specified timeframe but also must degrade into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass without leaving any toxic residue. Additionally, the compost resulting from the degradation process must not have any negative impact on plant growth.


The DIN Home Compostable Certification is more than an environmental initiative; it's a strategic tool that companies can use to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive and environmentally-conscious market. Consumers, in turn, are provided with a clear indication of genuinely compostable products, empowering them to make environmentally responsible choices. For waste management entities, it facilitates the identification of compostable materials, ensuring efficient waste segregation and composting.


The growing awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainable waste management solutions has placed the DIN Home Compostable Certification at the forefront of environmental sustainability. It drives manufacturers to create more sustainable products and promotes a circular economy where resources are not just consumed and discarded but are returned to the soil to foster new growth.


At Biopouches, we're immensely proud to join the ranks of companies that hold this prestigious certification. It underlines our ongoing dedication to offering high-quality, environmentally-friendly solutions to our customers.


This certification isn't just an emblem—it's an affirmation of our ethos of 'progress without compromise.' We remain committed to driving innovation in our industry and leading the way towards a greener and more sustainable future.
