Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The 1000 ml paper bowl is DIN-certified home compostable (DIN 54600) and degrades under home composting conditions within 180 days; in addition, it is industrially compostable according to EN 13432. Home compostable means: It decomposes even at the lower temperatures of a garden compost pile – an industrial composting facility with high decomposition temperatures is not required. This is made possible by the water-based coating; products with PE or PLA coatings generally do not achieve this classification, as PLA-coated products are usually only industrially compostable. The degradation time depends on the conditions in the compost (moisture, temperature, fragmentation).

Yes – and that is what makes it special. Conventional single-use tableware with a PE coating does not belong in waste paper, as the plastic layer is difficult to separate from the fiber during paper recycling. This bowl, however, is certified as recyclable (DIN Recyclable): the water-based coating can be processed in the paper recycling cycle, and the kraft paper fibers (FSC® Mix Credit) are recovered. Alternatively, it can be home or industrially composted – meaning there are three approved disposal methods.
