Evaluation system for selected criteria of plastics

Due to the fact that there is a lot of misleading information about green plastics, standardization organizations developed standards for the field of bioplastics. In the middle of 1990 European Commission ordered CEN (European Committee for Standardization) to develop standards for compostable packaging. The result of this work is the standard specification .EN 13432:2000 which is harmonized with the Directive 34/62/EC concerning packaging.
