EN 13432 Certified Compostable Shopping Bags — Torise

What Our EN 13432 Certification Means for Your Supply Chain

When European retailers, brands, or regulators review compostable packaging suppliers, they look for independent verification against the EN 13432 standard—the European benchmark for industrially compostable packaging. Torise holds EN 13432 certification for our TR-TS shopping bags, verified by an independent certification body, covering our complete compostable shopping bag product line.

This certification confirms that our shopping bags meet the strict requirements for biodegradation, disintegration, ecotoxicity, and heavy metal limits under industrial composting conditions. It provides our European buyers with credible, third-party validation that their packaging can carry the Seedling logo and meet EU regulatory and retail requirements.
