Australia Warns: Misleading “Compostable” Labels Causing Massive Plastic Contamination

Australia Warns: Misleading “Compostable” Labels Causing Massive Plastic Contamination

2025-08-15

In a recent industry report, Australian waste management experts revealed that misleading “biodegradable” or “compostable” labels are allowing massive amounts of non-compostable plastic to enter the food and garden waste recycling stream.
These contaminants reduce compost quality and damage public trust in sustainable packaging solutions.

The report calls for:

  • Stricter labeling standards for compostable packaging

  • Clear certification marks such as “OK Compost” or “EN13432”

  • Consumer education to help identify truly compostable bags

As a certified compostable bag manufacturer, we support transparent labeling and verified certifications, ensuring every bag we produce meets international compostability standards.

Choosing the right compostable bag is not just about convenience — it’s about protecting the environment from hidden plastic pollution.
