19/20 10117 Berlin What are the advantages of labels marking bio-based property or compostability of bioplastics? A label awarded in accordance with independent certification based on acknowledged standards guarantees that the product fulfils the criteria claimed. As bioplastics cannot be distinguished from conventional plastics by non-experts, reliable labelling helps the consumer to identify these products. It also informs the consumer of particular additional qualities the material or product possesses. Another advantage provided by compostability labels in particular is that they facilitate correct waste separation, collection and recovery. http://www.european-bioplastics.org/bioplastics/standards/labels/ http://docs.european-bioplastics.org/publications/EUBP_Environmental_communications_guide.pdf phone fax European Bioplastics e.V.
