Frequently Asked Questions

Compostability is the decomposition of a material into organic matter by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. This includes biodegradation, disintegration and control of environmental safety such as ecotoxicity.

Compostability goes beyond biodegradation. A compostable product must also meet requirements for material properties, disintegration and ecotoxicity. Not every biodegradable product is automatically compostable.

Among other things, we analyze nitrogen, mercury, organic matter, carbon, pH, density, impurities and germinating seeds. This can be done individually or in a package.

We work according to CMA and BAM standards from Flanders. For CMA we are recognized by OVAM and for BAM by the Vlaamse Land Maatschappij (VLM).
