In an environment where packaging sustainability and traceability are increasingly demanded, it is essential to know if the packaging you use —specifically meshes— truly complies with recognized ecological regulations and standards. At Bicopack, this issue is part of our essence.
1. Basic sector regulations and standards
The meshes we manufacture are designed to meet key sustainability requirements:
- The European standard EN 13432, which regulates compostable packaging under industrial conditions.
- OK Compost Industrial and OK Compost Home certificates, which indicate that the product can decompose without leaving harmful residues.
- Food contact and packaging material certifications that endorse their suitability for agri-food use.
2. Bicopack certificates
So that you can trust our solution, we highlight that:
- We work with OK Compost Home and OK Compost Industrial, which allows us to distinguish whether the packaging is intended for domestic or industrial composting.
- We have additional quality certifications for packaging materials such as BRC Packaging Materials, as well as hygiene and food contact standards.
- On our product pages and blog, we clearly indicate that the meshes are made with yarn from 100% natural cellulose fibers, which are biodegradable and compostable.
3. What this means for your brand
By using our meshes that meet these standards and certificates:
- You comply with European and Spanish legislation on sustainable packaging, something increasingly required by distributors and administrations.
- You can communicate transparently that your packaging is compostable, without the risk of ambiguous messages or “greenwashing.”
- You offer your final consumer packaging that, after use, can be integrated into composting systems or biodegrade while respecting the environment.
- You have technical support to differentiate your product at the point of sale as “certified compostable packaging,” a growing value in the fruit and vegetable sector.
4. Quick guide to verify for yourself
Before incorporating a sustainable mesh, we suggest you verify:
- That the product shows the certificate logo (OK Compost, etc.) and registration number.
- That the technical sheet indicates the applicable standard (EN 13432 or other).
- That the supplier can provide a laboratory report or a valid certificate.
- That the packaging labeling clearly indicates “compostable” or “biodegradable” and the final management route (industrial or domestic composting).
5. Conclusion
Yes: Bicopack meshes comply with recognized ecological regulations and certifications. This certification is not mere rhetoric; it is backed by European standards, compostability certificates, and manufacturing based on 100% natural cellulose fibers.
By opting for our meshes, you are choosing technical, professional packaging aligned with the sustainability goals of the circular economy.
