Yes, Luminy® PLA is biodegradable, meaning it can be industrially composted and broken down into water, CO₂, and biomass, meeting EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards. That biomass can then be used as fertilizer.

Compostable bioplastics are especially useful for products like food containers and bags, where separating plastic from organic waste is challenging. Luminy® PLA helps to divert food waste from landfills and prevent composting streams from being contaminated by conventional plastic items.
