Certifications & Compliance

Food-safety, compostability and quality assurance behind every product we ship. Full certificates and test reports are available to buyers on request.

In international B2B packaging trade, certification is the language of trust. Importers, foodservice chains and retailers must verify that every disposable product entering their market meets food-contact, compostability and quality-management standards. A missing document can delay customs, stall a product launch or block a tender.

At BagassePack Co., every product line is validated against globally recognized certifications and third-party test reports — covering our bagasse tableware, paper cups & bowls, biodegradable cutlery and cornstarch containers.

Food Contact Safety

Confirming that materials which touch food are safe, non-toxic and compliant for their intended use.

FDA 21 CFR — food-contact compliance for materials used in US markets
EC No 1935/2004 — EU framework for materials intended for food contact
EU No 10/2011 — EU limits and safety for food-contact materials
LFGB — German Food & Commodities Act safety
Declaration of Conformity — product-level EU food-contact statement

Compostability & Biodegradability

Confirming that products break down into organic matter within set timeframes under specific conditions, leaving no plastic residue.

OK compost HOME (TÜV Austria) — home and garden composting
BPI (USA) — industrial composting under ASTM D6400
DIN EN 13432 (EU) — industrial composting, Seedling mark
ASTM D6400 (USA) — industrial composting standard
AS 5810 (Australia) — home composting standard

Buyers selling into the EU should prioritize OK compost HOME and DIN EN 13432; US buyers look for BPI under ASTM D6400; Australian retail often requires AS 5810. We hold the relevant certifications for each market.

Quality & Management Systems

ISO 9001 — quality management, the baseline most serious buyers require
BRCGS — global packaging safety & quality, often a gatekeeper for retail tenders
BSCI — business social compliance audit for labour and ethics

Supporting Test Reports

PFAS / PFOA / PFOS-free test report covering our bagasse and paper lines
MSDS for bagasse, paper, cornstarch and PLA materials
FDA 21 CFR 176.170 migration test where required
Technical data sheets for performance specifications

PFAS-Free & Coating Transparency

Many bagasse products rely on PFAS coatings for oil resistance, but EU and US regulations are tightening around PFAS. Our standard bagasse range is PFAS-free, with water and oil repellency built into the pulp. For markets that need maximum oil-proof performance we also offer PFAS-coated options on request. We are transparent about which chemistry each product carries so you can choose the right fit for your market.
