Both require at least 90% biodegradation within 180 days, full disintegration, and eco-safety. EN13432 certifications come from T\u00dcV Austria or DIN CERTCO; ASTM D6400 often comes with BPI certification. For export compliance, brands must carry the appropriate mark and register in EPR systems like LUCID (Germany) or Triman (France), or conform with U.S. regulations to avoid customs delays and greenwashing claims.<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"484\">As global plastic bans tighten and green compliance becomes essential for market access, understanding compostability standards like EN13432 and ASTM D6400 is no longer optional\u2014it\u2019s mission-critical.

Is EN13432 required for selling in Europe?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"785\">Yes. Under the EU Packaging Waste Directive, any packaging product labeled \u201ccompostable\u201d must be EN13432 certified.
