DIN CERTCO and BPI certified compostable.
Our film has been tested and approved by ASTM D6868 and D6400 standards.
What does that mean?Advantages of LÜ® biodegradable packaging
Most of the biodegradable and decomposable packaging bags are not certified and are mostly single-layer, single-function packaging materials. LÜ® eco-friendly packaging materials can be beautifully printed and have better heat sealing, moisture-proof, air-blocking and light-shielding functions.

WHY IT MATTERS
Even though "biodegradable" and "compostable" products are everywhere, uncertified products can be made of materials that break down into damaging particles and are difficult to clean up. But don't worry, we've attained BPI and DIN CERTCO certifications to ease your mind. LÜ® composts only into good stuff.
A truly compostable plastic is defined as a plastic that undergoes biodegradation to yield carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass; leaving no visible, distinguishable, or toxic residue.
