A seedling, and a condition.
Also known as: Seedling mark, Industrial compostable mark
The mark certifying that a material breaks down under defined composting conditions.
Certifies that a material breaks down under the composting conditions the scheme defines.
Contexts: Packaging, Public information
Certifies behaviour under industrial composting at controlled temperature, not in a garden heap or in the environment — the condition is the whole claim and is routinely dropped when the mark is read.
Contexts: Packaging, Public information
Depends on the item reaching a facility that accepts it, so in most collection systems a certified compostable item behaves as ordinary waste.
Contexts: Packaging, Public information
A stylised seedling or a circular device with the scheme's name and a certificate number, printed on the packaging.
