BBIA represents producers of compostable packaging materials in the UK. We strongly support the Option 3 to establish a binding legal EU wide framework for environmental claims. We are sick of companies announcing their packaging to be "biodegradable" without having supporting scientific evidence, standards or test methodologies to support these claims.

Without predictable demand signals, private investment will not scale.
