(56)As described in the ‘EU policy framework on biobased, biodegradable and compostable plastics’, set out in the communication of the Commission of 30 November 2022, compliance with standards for industrial composting does not imply decomposition in home composting. In industrial composting, the required conditions are high temperatures and high humidity levels. In home composting, which is carried out by private individuals, including in communities, the actual conditions depend very much on local climate circumstances and consumer practices. Hence, biodegradation in home composting risks being slower than in industrial composting or not to be completed. In particular, home composting for plastic packaging should only be considered for specific applications and in the context of specific local conditions under the supervision of the relevant authorities.
