OrangeBio’s biopolymer resin blends are supported by over 20 years of research and development, protected by a portfolio of patented formulations, and validated through internationally recognized certifications.
OrangeBio compostable bags are certified to meet both U.S. and European compostability standards, including:
• ASTM D6400 (United States), certified by BPI
• EN 13432 (European Union)
• TÜV AUSTRIA OK Compost INDUSTRIAL
• TÜV AUSTRIA OK Compost HOME
The OK Compost HOME certification is among the most stringent compostability certifications globally and verifies that products can fully biodegrade in non-industrial, low-temperature home composting environments. As certified, OrangeBio products are suitable for municipal, industrial, backyard, and home composting systems, when disposed of in accordance with local guidelines.
In addition, OrangeBio products are:
• RoHS compliant for environmental safety
• FDA compliant for food-contact applications, where applicable
Regulatory Context
Many products marketed as “bioplastics” lack verified compostability and do not meet recognized regulatory standards. In response to market confusion, the State of California requires that any product sold with compostability or biodegradation claims must meet the ASTM D6400 specification. California regulations further restrict the use of the term “biodegradable” and require the term “compostable” to be used only for products that meet certified compostability standards.
OrangeBio’s certified products are designed to support compliance with these and other regional labeling, environmental, and material safety regulations.
