What are the biodegradability certifications for canvas outdoor trash cans?

When selecting an environmentally responsible canvas outdoor trash can, understanding biodegradability certifications is crucial. These certifications verify that the product will break down safely in a specific environment, such as an industrial composting facility, without leaving harmful residues. The most recognized standards include ASTM D6400 and EN 13432. Certification bodies like the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) in North America use these standards to certify products. A BPI-certified compostable logo indicates the canvas bag meets strict criteria for disintegration, biodegradation, and lack of ecotoxicity. In Europe, the "Seedling" logo signifies compliance with EN 13432. For a canvas trash can liner or the canvas itself to be truly compostable, it must carry such certifications, ensuring it contributes to a circular economy and reduces landfill waste. Always check for these labels to make a verified sustainable choice.
