# Can I say my packages are compostable?

Yes! You CAN label your pouches as “compostable” or “100% compostable”. This step will let your customers know that your packaging is helping rid the world of single-use plastics.

However, we _do NOT recommend_ that your pouches be labeled _“certified_ compostable”.

Our materials (made from combinations of corn, cassava, wood pulp, and beetroot) carry either a home or industrial compostability rating and meet ASTM D6400 standards. Each component has been individually certified compostable.

Keep in mind that several states and municipalities have stringent regulations for claiming specific certifications on package labeling and often require independent, third-party certifications.

These processes require that any change made to the size, ink coverage or design of the pouch will result in a new certification being needed.

We are working diligently with our partners to obtain additional third-party certifications for our products that would allow our customers the ability to use industry-recognized certified compostable labels, logos, and marks on their pouches. We will update this FAQ as we have more information to share.
