CMCS issues updated scheme rules version 4

Posted: 26 July, 2024. Written by Georgia

We have recently issued two updated versions of the 'REAL Industrially Compostable Products' and 'REAL Home Compostable Products' scheme rules. 

The key changes from the previous versions are:

• The addition of certifiable product types e.g., sponges, bottles, and disposable gloves
• Additional details around the verification procedures
• Additional details around the conformity assessment for verification
• Requirements around the use of the certification marks

Version 4 of these documents can be found and downloaded from our website here.

The transition period for certified producers to comply with the requirements of these rules is one month from today by 26th August 2024.
