Storopack’s film is certified by TÜV Austria for home composting. In accordance with the DIN EN 13432 standard, on which the certification is based, at least 90% of the film degrades into natural resources within 365 days. Depending on the temperature and microculture of the compost, microbes and heat fully convert the remaining 10% percent as well into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. The certification ensures that the resulting biomass is plant and worm-friendly. Air cushions made from the film boast are designed to protect light to medium weight shipping goods.
AIRplus® Bio home compostable film can be disposed of in the bin for organic waste for the purpose of industrial composting in many countries and regions. However, the disposal depends on the regulations and standards in the different areas and municipalities and are in some cases still in development. Recipients of the packaging can use the printed QR code to find out about disposal options in their country.
