PolyOne achieves key certification for eco-friendly colourants and additives

AIB Vinçotte, an independent inspection organisation, grants OK Compost certification after verifying that a product meets EN 13432, a standard for compostability recognised in Europe, Asia and North America. Products meeting this standard are authorised to use the OK Compost label, which guarantees the item is biodegradable in an industrial composting plant. To qualify for this label, manufacturers must demonstrate that all components of a product or package, including inks, pigments and additives, meet EN 13432.

John Van Hulle, President of Global Color, Additives and Inks, said, "This achievement underscores PolyOne's long-term commitment to sustainability, and represents the culmination of several years of development work. We will continue to expand the range of OK Compost certified solutions to support our customers in meeting the preferences of eco-conscious consumers."
