SGS Hong Kong Recognized for Compostability Testing under BPI Certification Scheme

With more and more products claiming green credentials, consumers looking to make sustainable choices need clear product information presented in a way which does not mislead, ensuring that product claims are truthful and substantiated.

In USA, the ASTM D6400 standard is the North American equivalent of the European EN 13432 where both specifications require that biodegradable/compostable products completely decompose in a composting setting in a specific time frame, leaving no harmful residues behind.

Besides our previous accreditation from IAS & DAkkS (see here), our innovative solutions enable you to design and manufacture safer, more sustainable products, reduce waste, minimize environmental risks, increase health and safety for increasing your cost-efficiency and boosting your environmental credentials.

In August 2023, SGS Hong Kong had obtained recognition from Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), North America’s leading authority on compostable products and packaging, under ASTM D6400 requirements for compostable testing services subject to their Certification Scheme, and by doing so, becomes the only laboratory in Hong Kong to gain this accreditation.
