Six UPM packaging papers are now certified according to the NFT51-800:2015 standard as home compostable and also certified as industrially compostable<\/strong> (EN13432:2000). The portfolio includes the barrier papers Prego and Asendo, the one-side coated papers FlexPack, UniquePack and UniquePack Strong as well as the speciality kraft papers Solide Lucen. UPM's fibre-based and recyclable packaging materials are designed to enable brand owners and converters to develop their own compostable packaging solutions.<\/p>

\u201eRecycling should always be the first option to consider when possible. However, compostability is a good option when recycling packaging paper is not possible, for example due to food waste. Compostability can also play a role when recycling infrastructure is limited.\u201c<\/p>

Susanna Hyrk\u00e4s,<\/strong> Senior Manager, Sustainability, UPM Speciality Papers<\/p><\/blockquote>

The differences between home composting and industrial composting are as follows in the process temperature and time<\/strong>, which is required until decomposition and biological decomposition begin. Under the right conditions (20 \u00b0C - 30 \u00b0C), home compostable materials will Biologically degraded within 12 months<\/strong> and decomposed into non-ecotoxic compost within 6 months.<\/p>

UPM has set itself ambitious responsibility targets for 2030, such as promoting a circular economy and sustainable product design. Recyclability and compostability are part of the solution<\/strong>, as they guarantee a sustainable product at the end of its life cycle.<\/p>
