Because of the relatively small amount of waste, the temperature in a garden compost pile is significantly lower and less constant than in an industrial composting environment. Composting in the garden is therefore a more difficult, slower process. TÜV Austria’s innovative answer to this challenge is the OK Compost HOME certification to ensure complete biodegradability, even specifically in the garden compost pile. It is important to note that the OK compost HOME certificate does not explicitly refer to a specific standard, but describes all the technical requirements that a product must meet to obtain certification. All packaging with this label is guaranteed to be biodegradable.
