Ever felt lost in a sea of “eco” badges? Not all are created equal. Some are made up by the brand itself. But a few trusted certifications actually mean something.

FSC guarantees wood comes from responsibly managed forests. Nordic Eco‑label looks at the entire lifecycle – from raw material to disposal and dispute. DIN EN 13432 ensures a product is truly compostable in industrial facilities. And BPI does the same in North America.

When you see these, you can trust the plate breaks down safely without toxic leftovers. No certification or idertifitasion? No purchase. It’s that simple. Share this cheat sheet with your friends – the more of us demand real proof, the faster companies will clean up their act.
