HOME COMPOSTABLE: WESSLING now certified by DIN CERTCO

WESSLING France is now one of the few French laboratories certified by TÜV Austria to conduct compostability and biodegradability tests. WESSLING GreenLab is certified as OK HOME compost, OK INDUSTRIAL compost and Seedling. More details following.

DIN CERTCO Certification

Since September 2022, manufacturers of packaging or compostable products can call on the French laboratory of WESSLING if they are aiming for a DIN CERTCO certification. The equivalent TÜV AUSTRIA certification was obtained by WESSLING in February 2022. 

From now on, a product tested and validated by WESSLING France can directly receive one or more certifications, depending on the target market and the tests performed and validated. 

 

WESSLING may now issue the following certifications:

  • HOME COMPOSTABLE (DIN CERTCO)
  • OK HOME Compost (TÜV Austria)
  • OK Compost INDUSTRIAL (TÜV Austria)
  • Seedling

Reminder of the benefits for the client partners of WESSLING: 

  • The tests are carried out by our independent laboratory and recognised by two independent organisations,
  • The tests start within 15 days after receipt of the samples,
  • WESSLING is eligible for the Research Tax Credit: by developing new products with us you can benefit from the CIR,
  • The WESSLING GreenLab is located in France, in Isère more precisely. A product or packaging made in France can also be tested in France and thus be entirely "made in France".
