Certificate description

BPI Certified Compostable Bags — Torise

What Our BPI Finished Product Certification Means for Your Supply Chain

When North American retailers, brands, or regulators review compostable packaging, they require certification on the finished product—not just the resin. Torise holds BPI certification for our finished compostable bags, verified under ASTM D6400 standards, covering natural, red, yellow, white, black, and green bags with multi-colour print, up to 135 µm thickness.

This certification confirms that our finished bags—not just the raw material—are scientifically proven to biodegrade in commercial composting facilities. It provides our North American buyers with the credible, third-party validation required to carry the BPI logo on finished packaging and meet retailer, brand, and regulatory requirements.
