Commercial composting process breakdown and timeline for BPI certified packaging

ASTM Compostability Standards

BPI certification is built on rigorous ASTM testing standards that ensure real-world compostability:

ASTM D6400

Standard specification for labeling plastics designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities

ASTM D6868

Standard specification for labeling end items that incorporate plastics and polymers as coatings on compostable substrates

Both standards require testing for biodegradation rate, disintegration, eco-toxicity, and heavy metals content – ensuring the material won't harm compost quality or the environment.

Using Compliant BPI Claims in Your Marketing

To align with BPI's brand and logo policies and emerging state laws on compostable labeling, follow these guidelines:

Be Specific to Certified SKUs

Use claims like: "Selected Achieve Pack composite bags (e.g., ACP101-1, ACP201-1) are BPI-Certified Compostable for commercial composting facilities."

Avoid implying all products are certified; restrict claims to exact BPI-listed items.

Use Correct Terminology

Use "Certified Compostable" with the BPI Mark and describe proper end-of-life: "commercial composting facility; not suitable for backyard compost."

Never describe plastic packaging as "biodegradable" or "degradable" without certification.

Connect to Verification

Include links to BPI's catalog so customers can verify certified products by company name and SKU.

Add disposal guidance: "Commercially compostable where accepted; do not place in plastics recycling."

What does "BPI Certified Compostable" mean?
BPI Certified Compostable means a product has been independently verified to meet ASTM standards (like ASTM D6400 or D6868) for commercial composting. This includes biodegradation, disintegration, and eco-toxicity testing, ensuring the item breaks down properly in industrial composting facilities without harmful residues.
Which Achieve Pack products are BPI certified?
Achieve Pack has multiple BPI-certified items including composite bags (SKUs like ACP101-1, ACP101-2, ACP501-1, ACP201-1), compostable films (ACP101-4), and compostable adhesive tape films (ACP201-2). All listed under retail food packaging categories in the BPI certified product catalog.
How can I verify Achieve Pack's BPI certification?
Visit products.bpiworld.org and search for "Achieve Pack Company" to view all certified SKUs, categories, and specifications. Each item shows certification status, material type, and product details for complete transparency.
Is BPI certification the same as home compostable?
No. BPI certification for commercial composting means products are designed to break down in industrial composting facilities, not backyard compost piles. Commercial facilities maintain specific temperature and conditions required for certified compostable materials. Some items may carry additional home compostable certifications.
Can I use the BPI Certification Mark on my packaging?
Brands using BPI-certified Achieve Pack products may display the BPI Certification Mark on those specific certified items, following BPI's logo and claims guidelines. Claims must be truthful, specific to certified SKUs, and include proper disposal instructions.
Why does BPI certification matter for composters?
Composters rely on BPI certification to identify packaging that will properly break down in their facilities without contaminating compost. BPI-certified items reduce sorting confusion, minimize contamination from look-alike plastics, and help facilities maintain compost quality standards.
What ASTM standards do BPI-certified products meet?
BPI-certified products meet ASTM D6400 (for compostable plastics) or ASTM D6868 (for compostable coatings and films on compostable substrates). These standards require testing for biodegradation rate, disintegration, eco-toxicity, and heavy metals content.
Does Achieve Pack's BPI certification include PFAS testing?
Yes. BPI now requires restrictions on intentionally added fluorinated chemicals (PFAS), supported by lab testing and documentation reviewed by BPI's technical team. Achieve Pack's certified items meet these updated requirements for safer compostable packaging.
