Is PLA tableware considered compostable under EU regulations?

Only under specific conditions. PLA (polylactic acid) must be certified under EN13432 and labeled for industrial composting only. 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.

How can I verify if a supplier’s compostable claim is legitimate?

Request the official EN13432 certificate issued by a notified body such as TÜV Austria or DIN CERTCO. Look for legitimate logos like OK Compost INDUSTRIAL or BPI (for North America). Also ensure that the product labeling aligns with Directive (EU) 2019/904 and avoids generic or misleading environmental claims.
