¹The compostability has been tested up to the thickness of 1,48 mm. As the compostability of an end product is also dependent on the geometry of product, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end product to ensure compliance with the regulations.

²Biodegradation of 79% in 308 days in the marine environment (30 °C / 86 °F) (ASTM D6691). Tested according to ASTM 5511 (accelerated biodegradation in the landfill 37°C / 99 °F): 52% relative biodegradation in 210 d. Not considered biodegradable in California.

³Restrictions and specifications of use apply, please refer to relevant Declaration of Compliance for further information.

¹ Suitable for reusable applications as per European Commission regulation (EU) No 10/2011. Dishwashability tested according to EN 12875 standard with 20 washing cycles.

² Biodegradation of 56,7% in 280 days in the marine environment ASTM D6691(86°F / 30°C). Not considered biodegradable in California.

1  USDA Certified Biobased Product label is a certification mark of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

2  Relative biodegradation of 49,7 % in 308 days in simulated marine environment test (ASTM D6691 86 °F / 30 °C) using natural sea water. Not considered biodegradable in California.

3  Raw materials fulfil the requirements for heavy metal tresholds and ecotoxicity according to EN13432 and ASTM D6400.The material complies with the EU and US FDA food contact requirements (restrictions and specifications of use apply, further information in Declaration of Compliance).

4  Can be recycled through hydrolysis back to monomers, suitable as feedstock for recycled biopolymers. Mechanical and chemical recyclability tested and proven technically feasible by third parties. Field tests have also verified that Sulapac materials can be collected and sorted out of a mixed waste stream. When collected together, Sulapac materials do not interfere with the current mechanical recycling of conventional fossil- based or bio-based non-biodegradable plastics. The technology for chemical recycling of bio-based and biodegradable materials exists, but the infrastructure is still under development.

¹Material is suitable for repeated use as per European Commission regulation (EU) No 10/2011. Dishwashability tested according to EN 12875 standard with 125 washing cycles.

²0,57 kg CO2 eq/kg based on cradle-to-gate LCA performed by an independent third-party consultancy (biogenic carbon included).

³The compostability has been tested up to the thickness of 150μm according to BPI (ASTM D6400). As the compostability of an end product is also dependent on the geometry of product, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end product to ensure compliance with the regulations.

⁴Relative biodegradation of 77,3% in 420 days in simulated marine environment test (ASTM D6691 86 °F/30 °C) using natural sea water. Not considered biodegradable in California
