Certifications

Why Are Third-Party Certifications Important?
At GreenPax, we believe third-party certifications are essential for ensuring that the products you buy truly support the claims on their labels. These certifications, awarded by independent organizations ranging from private sector groups to government agencies, involve rigorous testing to meet the highest standards for biodegradability, compostability, resource preservation, and renewability.

GreenPax offers products that carry many of these trusted certifications. It's important to note that these certifications are held by the manufacturers of the products, not by GreenPax.

Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI)

The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) is a non-profit association that brings together key stakeholders from government, industry, and academia to promote the use and recovery of compostable materials through municipal composting. BPI Certified Compostable foodservice products meet stringent, scientifically based standards according to ASTM D6400 or ASTM D6868 specifications, ensuring they break down effectively in composting facilities.

FSC Certified (Forest Stewardship Council)

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. FSC-certified products meet strict standards that protect biodiversity, prevent deforestation, and support the rights of indigenous communities. Look for the FSC logo to ensure your products support sustainable forestry practices. For more information, visit fsc.org.
