Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI)

North America's leading authority on compostable products and packaging.

@EdwardPilo66308 We'll have to talk to our product team about that 🍌

[Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) @BPI_Policy]

A banana peel protects food, serves its purpose, and returns to the soil.

Certified compostable packaging is designed to do the same.

That's why compostables are made to compost alongside food scraps—not become waste.

[Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) @BPI_Policy]

California has set bold goals to cut waste & address climate change — but compostable products can’t help reduce the impact of food waste if #AB1201 undermines their acceptance. #CALeg must act now to #fixAB1201 and align policy with CA’s climate goals.

FACT: Certified compostable products fully break down in composting environments & compostable plastics won't leave persistent microplastics behind as they transform to compost.

#CALeg, it's time to #FixAB1201 to keep compostable products in CA. More: https://t.co/ppFxmRDljW

[Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) @BPI_Policy]

CA’s climate leadership is on the line. State law will soon tie compostable packaging to an outdated federal standard that puts innovation at risk and increases confusion & contamination. #CALeg, we need a legislative fix to AB 1201 now. #FixAB1201

[Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) @BPI_Policy]

Composting works best when policy reflects real-world systems & science. But CA faces unintended harm if we don't #fixAB1201 to remove a misaligned federal agriculture standard with serious implications for compostables. #CALeg

Thanks to @wastedive and @eacrunden for this great coverage of BPI's new labeling and identification guidelines for compostable products and packaging...

[Waste Dive @WasteDive]

Pandemic-induced constraints have led to an uptick in takeout and delivery, and proponents of compostables hope the guidelines could prove useful given the timing of their release. Story by @eacrunden https://t.co/Sw5ZJ9lYc2

Thanks @BioCycleMag for covering our new labeling guidelines! “The Guidelines lay out all the options and will get the conversations started.” https://t.co/X2X60AG5Um

[Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) @BPI_Policy]

Today we're happy to introduce what we hope to be a big next step in the effort to curb contamination from non-compostable packaging in organics streams. Learn more about BPI's new guidelines for labeling and identification here:https://t.co/An8mCHG1LU
