In a market full of options, it's not enough to say that a package is “eco” or “biodegradable.” Today's consumers want clear and verifiable proof. That's where TÜV Austria certifications, globally recognized as a seal of trust and sustainability, come in.
At Plasticos Generales, with over 40 years of experience in the packaging industry, we know that trust is key. That's why we work with certified materials, and in this article, we'll explain what you need to know before choosing biodegradable packaging.
What is TÜV Austria and why does it matter?

- Independence and objectivity: Their evaluations are impartial.
- Global recognition: Their certifications are valid in Europe and many other regions.
