Compliance & documentation

Review the evidence for your exact product.

Food-contact and material requirements depend on the item, its intended use and the destination market. Use the selected specification as the starting point for a document review.

What to review

A document should match the product

Product identity

Match the report or declaration to the material, structure and item being quoted.

Intended use

Check the relevant food types, temperatures and contact conditions.

Market & validity

Review the destination, scope, issue date and any limits stated in the document.

Documentation checklist

Send your market requirements

Clear claims

Avoid assumptions from appearance

Paper does not mean universally recyclable

Coatings, food residue and local collection systems affect the actual disposal route.

Compostability is product-specific

A material name or paper appearance does not establish that the complete item is certified compostable.
