Masterbatches certified

PolyOne announced that its OnColor BIO and OnCap BIO masterbatches have been granted OK Compost certification by AIB Vinçotte. This latter grants OK Compost certification after verifying that a product meets EN 14832, a standard for compostability recognized in Europe, Asia and North America. Products meeting this standard are authorized to use the OK Compost label, which guarantees the item is biodegradable in an industrial composting plant. As environmentally conscious consumers become more aware of the OK Compost certification, demand is growing for packaging and consumer goods that earn this label.
