Certificate description
BPI Certified Compostable Resins & Packaging — Torise
What Our BPI Certification Means for Your Supply Chain
When North American retailers, brands, or municipalities review compostable packaging suppliers, they look for independent verification of compostability claims—not just marketing language. Torise holds BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certification for our compostable resins, verified under ASTM D6400 standards, covering natural, red, yellow, white, black, and green resin grades for film manufacturing up to 135 μm thickness.
This certification confirms that our resin materials are scientifically proven to biodegrade in commercial composting facilities. It provides our packaging buyers with credible, third-party validation that their finished products can carry the BPI logo and meet North American regulatory and retail requirements.
