Export Biodegradable Food Containers Compliance Checklist | Bioleader® Sustainable Packaging

Yes, our biodegradable bowls with lids are made from 100% eco-friendly materials like kraft paper and white cardboard, making them fully biodegradable after use.

Yes, they can be put in a microwave even though there is no instruction to that, which makes it easier as meals can be quickly reheated in the same bowl.

Making operating and design decisions that enhance environmental sustainability involves green practices and does not destroy the business unit’s viability. We manufacture durable Kraft paper as well as white cardboard paper for use in our bio-disposable bowls with printed logos , export biodegradable food containers. Kraft paper is strong, environmentally friendly, and compostable. Natural brown kraft paper is the appropriate choice for environment-friendly consumers.

EN13432 is the compostability standard used in Europe, while ASTM D6400 is primarily used in the U.S. Both require biodegradability, disintegration, and eco-toxicity tests—but EN13432 includes stricter thresholds for heavy metals and requires full packaging-level compliance. Exporters targeting both markets may need dual certification.

Only under specific conditions. PLA (polylactic acid) must be certified under EN13432 and labeled for industrial composting only — export biodegradable food containers. The EU does not accept home composting claims for PLA unless separately certified (e.g., OK Compost HOME by TÜV). Products must also carry the correct label to avoid greenwashing penalties , export biodegradable food containers.
