Here’s what I found on LinkedIn.
Sans plastique … without plastic
Here’s what I found on their website
When you click on this image, you get ….
PLA containers … I thought PLA was compostable but not biodegradable ?
Looking further on their website:
“Tous les produits proposés par Compos’Table sont biodégradables et compostables et sont donc certifiés selon la norme européenne EN-13432 et OK Compost par VINCOTTE”
Translation
All the products offered by Compos’Table are biodegradable and compostable and are therefore certified according to European standard EN-13432 and OK Compost by VINCOTTE
Again …. biodegradable and compostable is not the same.
Not the first time Bioplastics branded as Plastic-free
Questions
Can we brand bioplastics as being Plastic-free; not made from plastics or without plastics?
Can we brand a bioplastics product that is (commercially / home) compostable as being biodegradable?
What do you think?
Are there any rules that says we cannot?
What about the company that gave the “compostable certificate” … in this case the Belgian company Vincotte (Now called TUV Austria). Are they responsible to rectify such practice or not?
What do you think?
