EN 13432 is associated with controlled industrial composting conditions — Compostable Packaging. It should not be interpreted as automatic evidence that a package will compost effectively in an unmanaged backyard compost pile.

EN 13432 ≠ home compostability.

Sugarcane bagasse and paper are fiber-based materials, so buyers may assume they are more natural and easier to biodegrade — Compostable Packaging. That assumption is only partly useful. Food packaging is not just raw fiber — Compostable Packaging. It may include coatings, wet-strength agents, inks, adhesives, lamination, lids, or barrier treatments that affect real degradation behavior.
