What this mark means

BPI certification marks identify products certified for the composting scope shown on their approved label. Commercial and home composting are different scopes. Do not replace a commercial-only mark with a home-compostable claim.

Before you add it to your label

  1. Check the product listing and obtain the current mark with the correct company identifier.
  2. Get the production file from the issuer or your certification contact; keep its proportions and required wording intact.
  3. Include the source and approval reference with your artwork for the final label review.

A detail worth checking

Commercial and home composting are different scopes. Do not replace a commercial-only mark with a home-compostable claim.
