Technically, yes—but practically, no. While bagasse is a natural fiber, it must pass all EN13432 tests (biodegradability, disintegration, eco-toxicity, and heavy metals) if labeled compostable. Without certification, customs or retailers may reject the shipment or prohibit its marketing as “eco-friendly.”

EN13432 is the European Union’s definitive compostability standard for packaging materials, and a cornerstone of EU-wide plastic waste regulation. It defines whether a product can legally be labeled and marketed as “compostable” under European law. By contrast, ASTM D6400 is a U.S.-based standard developed by ASTM International, primarily targeting North American markets. The two share similarities in performance thresholds (biodegradability, disintegration, eco-toxicity), but differ in: Feature EN13432 ASTM D6400 Composting time limit 6 months 6 months CO₂ conversion requirement ≥90% ≥60% Heavy metals limit Strict (EU thresholds) Moderate Disintegration (2mm screen) Required Required Plant growth toxicity test Mandatory Mandatory Acceptance for labeling in EU Yes No Conclusion: For any product claiming to be compostable and seeking to enter the European market—especially under Directive (EU) 2019/904—EN13432 is legally required, not optional.
