June 25, 2012 - Colorado's Compostable Product Labeling Act, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, requires that certain products labeled as compostable must be certified and clearly labeled. Eco-Products USA has introduced a new line of compostable products, "Veridian", which meets these requirements.
The "Veridian" range consists of more than 50 products, including flip-top boxes, cups, lids, cutlery, bowls and containers. These products display the word "compostable" as well as the BPI certification mark, indicating that they are compostable and meet the standards set by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). In addition, they feature a green or brown identification mark to distinguish them from non-compostable packaging.
The new law aims to address contamination in the waste stream by ensuring that only certified compostable products are so labeled. This will help prevent non-compostable items from being thrown into compost bins, thereby reducing the growth of composting infrastructure and the resulting environmental impact.
Eco-Products USA's "Veridian" line has been tested and certified by BPI, the leading authority on compostable products in North America. With this new line, companies can confidently meet Colorado's labeling requirements while contributing to a more sustainable future.
