Compostable means a material breaks down into compost (biomass, water and CO₂) within an agreed time, without harmful residues, but only under the right conditions. Key requirements:

• Time: within the specified timeframe
• No residues: no toxic leftovers or microplastics
• Conditions: sufficient heat, moisture, oxygen and micro organisms
• Type of claim: industrial compostable is not the same as home compostable
