Waste and Recycling FAQs - Why is AS4736 certification important?

Answer

Many products use terms like 'compostable', 'biodegradable', 'degradable' or 'bioplastic without meeting recognised standards.

Only liners certified AS4736 can be trusted to break down properly in commercial composting facilities. Uncertified products will leave behind plastic fragments and contaminate the compost with microplastics.
