The standard EN 13432 for “Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable

through composting and biodegradation - Test scheme and evaluation criteria for the final

acceptance of packaging” is currently under revision.

It is to be expected that stricter measures will be taken in the standard to ensure the

avoidance and/or reduction of structural non-biodegradable polymers due to an

increasing issue of persistent microplastics in compost and environment.

To effectively prepare holders of OK compost INDUSTRIAL, OK compost HOME,

OK biodegradable SOIL, OK biodegradable WATER and OK biodegradable MARINE

certificates for potential changes in the upcoming revision of EN 13432, - which is the

underlying standard for all biodegradability certification schemes -, and to protect the

environment, TüV AUSTRIA

- confirms the ban on the intentionally use of the homopolymers polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate

(PET), polyamide (PA), rubber (polyisoprene) and polyvinylchloride (PVC)

from its certified compositions, regardless of the concentration, for all products.

- bans the use of polyethylene wax and the homopolymer polyvinylidene

dichloride (PVDC), regardless of the concentration, by 31/12/2026 for all

products.

New applications, extensions and prolongations are permitted. However, validity

of such certificates is always limited to 31/12/2026.

TüV AUSTRIA strongly encourages its certificate holders to revise compositions

containing these before 31/12/2026 in an extensional certification procedure.

Ink series and adhesives are currently exempt from this ban.

only homopolymers are concerned.

Constituents and products not addressed in this communication will still follow the same

certification rules of the relevant certification scheme(s)
