Biodegradable packaging breaks down over time but lacks a guaranteed timeframe or safe residue. Compostable packaging breaks down fully into natural elements within a defined time under specific composting conditions — BPI certification.

The packaging industry is experiencing profound change driven by tightening regulations around the world. These new rules aim to eliminate greenwashing and enforce transparency and accountability: EU Green Claims Directive (Expected 2025 Finalization, COM/2023/166 final)This directive mandates that environmental claims must be supported by rigorous scientific evidence, such as Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) or recognized third-party certifications. Terms like “biodegradable,” “climate-neutral,” or “eco” can no longer be used loosely without verification. California Senate Bill 343 (SB-343)California prohibits deceptive environmental labeling and requires compostable packaging to meet standards such as ASTM D6400 or TUV OK Compost.
