Marine biodegradability certification
Ingevity’s portfolio of Capa thermoplastics is one of few bioplastics certified as OK Biodegradable Marine by TÜV Austria, a distinction requiring materials to achieve complete biodegradation in seawater environments, where much lower temperatures make biodegradability more challenging than land composting conditions. By fully biodegrading within four weeks, Capa’s certified products enable customers to address marine biodegradability requirements while reducing impact on the marine ecosystem. The addition of OK Marine certification further extends the benefits of the portfolio of Capa solutions that help plastics biodegrade quickly and completely, whether they be composted, landfilled or, unfortunately, make their way into our oceans.
Home and industrial compost certifications
OK Compost Industrial and Home certifications guarantees our engineered polymers meet
standards to fully biodegrade in an industrial composting plant and in a home compost heap.
