Primabake Achieves OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL Certifications from TÜV AUSTRIA

Primabake takes a decisive step forward in sustainable baking paper with the official OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL certifications from TÜV AUSTRIA GMBH. These prestigious certifications confirm that Primabake’s eco-friendly, free-from-harmful PFAS baking paper meets the highest compostability standards for both home and industrial composting environments.

Meeting the Highest Standards of Compostability

TÜV AUSTRIA's certifications are globally recognized for their rigorous testing and compliance requirements. To earn these distinctions, products must undergo strict evaluation to verify that they fully decompose without harming the environment. The OK Compost HOME certification ensures that Primabake's baking paper breaks down effectively at ambient temperatures in backyard composting, a crucial feature for households seeking sustainable solutions. Meanwhile, the OK Compost INDUSTRIAL certification guarantees that Primabake's products compost efficiently under the controlled conditions of industrial facilities.

"Securing both OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL certifications reinforces our commitment to sustainability and product integrity,” stated Patrick Sombret, Product Manager for Primabake. “These certifications validate that Primabake is not only designed for professional use but also aligns with the increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly, home-compostable solutions.”

What It Takes to Earn OK Compost Certification

TÜV AUSTRIA's certification process is among the most stringent in the industry, requiring products to meet strict criteria for disintegration, and eco-toxicity. The composted material must leave no harmful residues behind, ensuring that it safely reintegrates into the environment. Unlike products that only meet partial compostability claims, OK Compost HOME & OK Compost INDUSTRIAL -certified materials are subject to independent verification to confirm their performance across real-world composting conditions.

Achieving both OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL certifications demonstrates that Primabake goes beyond regulatory compliance to deliver baking paper that is truly sustainable at every stage of its lifecycle. These certifications also enhance confidence among municipalities, waste management facilities, and environmentally conscious brands looking for field-proven compostable solutions.

A Continued Commitment to Sustainability

This latest achievement further solidifies Primabake’s leadership in the sustainable packaging and baking paper industry. As a part of Papeteries du Leman (PDL), Primabake is committed to reducing environmental impact through responsible sourcing, energy-efficient production, and innovative waste reduction strategies.

“True sustainability isn’t just about certifications—it’s about making a measurable impact,” added Patrick Sombret. “These certifications reflect our ongoing mission to develop eco-conscious, high-performance solutions that meet the evolving needs of both professional and home bakers.”

Looking ahead, Primabake continues to innovate, with a strong focus on expanding its portfolio of certified compostable products to support a more circular economy.
