No! Films or injection moulded parts made from BIO-FLEX® are not automatically certified according to EN 13432 or ASTM D6400. Each converter who wants to use the compostability mark for their products made from BIO-FLEX® must apply for certification for his films or parts at DIN Certco or AIB-Vinçotte (for EN 13432) or at BPI (for ASTM D6400). Such a certificate is valid only for the finished product of the tested thickness.
