On July 24, 2025, Normec OWS reaffirmed its long-standing support for the Compostable by Design Platform, which the company has supported since its inception.
Through the CbDP, Normec OWS collaborates with stakeholders across the entire value chain, including material developers, brands, waste processors, and policymakers. The goal is to accelerate the development and responsible implementation of compostable solutions that function effectively within existing organic waste systems.
The platform promotes alignment between innovation, harmonized standards, and available infrastructure. Ensuring that compostable materials meet clear criteria for biodegradability and compostability is essential for maintaining high-quality compost streams and preventing contamination.
By contributing its scientific expertise in testing and validation, Normec OWS supports Europe’s transition to a circular economy, in which materials are designed from the very beginning with their end-of-life trajectory in mind.
Whether it’s monitoring, permitting, quality control, or complex environmental issues, together we provide reliable insights you can rely on with confidence.
