Component Raw material declaration: Fibre

Viscose fibres certified FSC or PEFC. Viscose fibres are made from renewable resource (cellulose origin) and certified USDA Biobased 97%. The viscose fibres are also industrially compostable certified (EN13432/14046), as well as classified “readily biodegradable” according to OECD 301B (Aqueous aerobic biodegradation).

Component Raw material declaration: Binder

A biobased binder from renewable resource (certified 100% biobased) and classified “readily biodegradable” according to OECD 301A (Aerobic biodegradability of Organic compounds). The binder complies with EN13432: This International Standard requires the compostable fabric to disintegrate after 12 weeks and completely biodegrade after six months. This confirms that 90 percent or more of the fabric material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass - i.e. valuable compost. Materials and products complying with this standard can be certified and labelled accordingly.
