OK COMPOST

Continually improve your business with OK Compost

In an era when the global community is facing a plastic pollution crisis of monumental proportions, where it is estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually, the issue of sustainable packaging and production has become one of the most urgent global challenges. Traditional plastic, which can remain in the environment for hundreds of years, poses a huge threat to ecosystems, biodiversity and ultimately, human health.

In this context, bioplastics and compostable materials offer a promising alternative. However, with the increase in the number of products advertised as “biodegradable” or “compostable”, there has also been consumer confusion and a need for credible, independently verified standards that guarantee that these products truly fulfill their promises.

The OK Compost standard, developed by the Belgian organization TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium (formerly Vinçotte), represents one of the most widely recognized and strictest certification schemes for compostability. With over 30 years of experience and with certificates recognized worldwide, OK Compost has become the gold standard in the compostable products and packaging industry.

For EU companies that produce or use packaging, especially in the food, cosmetics, agriculture or retail sectors, understanding and obtaining the OK Compost certificate represents a strategic step towards sustainability, satisfying regulatory requirements and positioning as an environmentally responsible brand on the European and international market.

What is the OK Compost standard?

OK Compost is a certification program that verifies that products and materials can be composted in industrial or home composting systems, in accordance with European norms for compostability.

OK Compost family of labels:

OK Compost INDUSTRIAL

• The most common label in the OK Compost system
• Certifies that a product or material can be composted in industrial composting facilities
• Based on the European norm EN 13432 (for packaging) or EN 14995 (for plastics)
• Requires complete biodegradation within 12 weeks in industrial conditions (temperatures 58°C±2°C)
• No toxic residues that could damage the quality of the compost

OK Compost HOME

• Stricter standard for products that can be composted in home composts
• Home composting systems have lower temperatures and less controlled conditions than industrial ones
• Requires biodegradation within 12 months at lower temperatures (up to 30°C)
• Most commonly applied to organic waste bags, tea bags, coffee capsules

OK Biodegradable SOIL

• For products that biodegrade in the soil
• Application: agricultural mulch films, pots, agrarian applications
• Based on EN 17033

OK Biodegradable WATER

• For products that biodegrade in freshwater or marine environments
• Relatively new scheme, a response to the marine litter problem
• Strict biodegradation tests in aquatic conditions

OK Biobased

• Certifies the biomass content in the product (percentage of bio-based carbon)
• Does not automatically imply compostability
• Can be combined with OK Compost labels

Key basis: EN 13432 and EN 14995

These European norms define the requirements for compostable packaging and plastics:

• Biodegradability: Minimum 90% conversion to CO2 within 6 months
• Disintegration: Minimum 90% of the material passes through a 2mm sieve after 12 weeks of composting
• Compost quality: No negative impact on compost quality (ecotoxicity tests)
• Heavy metals: Concentrations below defined limits
• Organic carbon content: Minimum 50%

The OK Compost system verifies compliance with these norms through independent testing and continuous surveillance.

Key benefits of the OK Compost standard

Environmental benefits:

• Reduction of plastic pollution: Replacing traditional plastic with a compostable alternative
• Supporting the circular economy: Organic materials return to the earth as compost
• Carbon footprint reduction: Bioplastics typically have a lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based plastics
• Reduction of waste in landfills: Compostable products are moved from the waste stream into the compost stream

Business benefits:

• Regulatory compliance: Alignment with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive and similar regulations
• Market access: A requirement of many retailers and brands
• Differentiation: A clear message about environmental responsibility
• Consumer trust: Independent, credible verification eliminates the perception of greenwashing

Marketing benefits:

• Recognizable logo: The OK Compost logo is widely recognized and trusted among consumers
• Positive communication: An authentic story about sustainability
• Premium positioning: The possibility of positioning as an environmentally responsible brand

Why the OK Compost standard is important

• Prevention of greenwashing: Terms like “biodegradable”, “eco-friendly”, “green” are often used without credible verification. OK Compost provides independent, scientifically based confirmation.
• Regulatory pressure:
  • EU Single-Use Plastics Directive: Bans certain single-use plastic products, creating demand for compostable alternatives
  • Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive: Targets for packaging reduction and recycling
  • National regulations: Many countries are introducing bans or taxes on conventional plastic
• Consumer demand:
  • 73% of consumers globally are willing to change habits to reduce their environmental impact
  • Millennials and Generation Z especially value sustainability
  • Transparency and verification are becoming crucial
• Waste management evolution: Many cities and regions are developing biodegradable waste collection programs. Compostable products allow packaging to follow organic waste into compost, not to a landfill or incineration.
• Corporate sustainability strategies: Large corporations (Unilever, Nestlé, Coca-Cola) have committed to transitioning to sustainable packaging. This drives demand through the supply chain.
• Technological availability: The development of bioplastics (PLA, PHA, starch-based) makes compostable packaging increasingly technically and economically feasible.

Key principles of the OK Compost standard

• Scientific basis OK Compost is based on standardized, internationally recognized testing methods and norms (EN 13432, ISO standards).
• Independence Testing and certification are carried out by an independent, accredited body without conflicts of interest.
• Complete biodegradability The product must completely biodegrade into CO2, water and biomass within a defined time frame, without harmful residues.
• Disintegration in practice Not just chemical biodegradability but also physical disintegration – the material breaks down into small fragments that the screening process in composting plants can process.
• No harm to compost quality Ecotoxicity tests ensure that the final compost containing the degraded material is not harmful to plants or soil.
• Transparency and traceability Every certified product has a license number that can be verified, ensuring traceability.
• Continuous surveillance Certification is not a one-time event – regular surveillance ensures ongoing compliance.
• Life cycle perspective Although OK Compost focuses on the end of life, TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium also encourages a life cycle assessment approach for a holistic view of sustainability.

Structure of the OK Compost standard

OK Compost is not a single document but a program with multiple elements:

• Testing protocols:
  • Biodegradability test: Methods (ISO 14855, ISO 14851, ISO 14852) that measure CO2 production during biodegradation
  • Disintegration test: Simulation of industrial composting with fragmentation evaluation
  • Ecotoxicity tests: Plant growth tests (e.g., cress seed germination) on compost containing the tested material
  • Heavy metal analysis: Methods for cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc
  • Organic carbon content
• Certification requirements:
  • All test results must meet the criteria
  • Full disclosure of product composition (formulation)
  • Factory inspection (for production)
  • Quality management system
  • Labeling compliance
• License agreement:
  • Rights and obligations of the licensee
  • Proper use of the OK Compost logo
  • Reporting obligations
  • Renewal process
• Guidelines: TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium publishes guidelines on how to apply the standard, how to interpret requirements, how to use the logo, and so on.

Key concepts of the OK Compost standard

• Biodegradability versus Compostability:
  • Biodegradability: The ability of a material to break down by the action of microorganisms. However, this can be slow and can leave micro-fragments.
  • Compostability: A higher standard that requires biodegradability WITHIN A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME and in composting conditions, PLUS disintegration, PLUS the absence of toxicity.
  • EVERYTHING that is compostable is biodegradable, but NOT EVERYTHING biodegradable is compostable.
• Industrial versus home compost:
  • Industrial: Controlled conditions, high temperatures (55-65°C), aeration, moisture. Conditions that allow rapid degradation.
  • Home: Variable conditions, lower temperatures, less controlled. Requires materials that can break down in demanding conditions.
• Bioplastics:
  • PLA (polylactic acid): A derivative of corn starch or sugarcane. Compostable in industrial conditions.
  • PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates): Bacterially produced bioplastic. Compostable in a wider range of conditions, including the marine environment.
  • Starch-based blends: Blends of starch with biodegradable polyesters.
  • Cellulose-based: Cellophane, cellulose films.
• Biobased versus biodegradable:
  • Biobased: Produced from renewable biomass (plants, algae), not from petroleum. DOES NOT automatically mean it is biodegradable (e.g., bio-PE is chemically identical to petroleum PE).
  • Biodegradable: Can be broken down. DOES NOT HAVE TO be biobased (some petroleum-based polymers are biodegradable).
  • Ideal scenario: Biobased AND biodegradable/compostable.
• OK Compost logo identifiers:
  • S plus number: Seedling equivalence (EN 13432)
  • Number: License number for traceability
  • HOME or INDUSTRIAL label
