In the sustainability arena, credibility is currency. With new materials and environmental claims emerging worldwide, professionals need to know which claims they can trust. One of the questions we often hear is, “How do I know Naconet™ does what it says it will do?“

The answer lies in Naconet’s rigorous testing and certification journey. Certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), Naconet™ meets ASTM D6400 requirements for industrial compostability, a globally recognized benchmark for compostable materials. In this article, we’ll explore what BPI certification means, how it aligns with recognized compostability standards, and why third-party verification matters.

What BPI Certification Really Means

The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) is a leading independent certifier for compostable products, well-known in North America and respected globally. Earning BPI’s seal of approval is no small feat. To become BPI-certified, a product must pass a series of stringent laboratory tests to ensure it meets the requirements of ASTM D6400 or an equivalent international standard. Naconet™ successfully cleared these hurdles, confirming it will disintegrate under industrial composting conditions within the specified timeframe. The certification process also evaluated compost quality, ecotoxicity, and regulated metal content, helping verify that the material performs as intended.

For business decision-makers, the BPI logo on Naconet™ is more than just a mark – it’s an assurance of performance and integrity. It means an unbiased organization has vetted our product’s compostability claims. This is especially crucial in an era where many products claim to be “green” but may not fully degrade or may lack independent verification. With BPI certification, when we say Naconet™ is industrially compostable, you can be confident that claim is backed by rigorous testing and recognized standards. In fact, Naconet™ is one of the first netting solutions in the industry to achieve a third-party compostability certification of this kind, highlighting Conwed’s leadership in sustainable innovation.

Why Certification Builds Confidence

For professionals in procurement, sustainability, or product development, third-party certifications simplify decision-making. They answer critical questions: Will this material truly do what it claims? Has it been independently evaluated against recognized standards? With Naconet™, the BPI-certified label provides immediate clarity and confidence. It means Naconet™ has been vetted against some of the most recognized benchmarks in the world for compostable materials. This is especially important for organizations pursuing sustainability initiatives and seeking credible, verifiable environmental claims. Rather than relying solely on manufacturer assertions, customers can trust that Naconet™ has undergone rigorous testing and independent evaluation.

Certification also differentiates Naconet™ in the market. It stands as a tangible sign of quality and responsibility. In an age where trust and transparency are vital for brand reputation, being able to point to BPI (and equivalent global) certification helps build credibility with clients and stakeholders. It shows that Conwed has invested in doing things right, not just making claims but proving them. Internally, this certification was achieved after extensive R&D and months of testing, reflecting our commitment to deliver a solution that meets rigorous standards for both performance and compostability.
