Building Brand Trust & Consumer Confidence
TÜV Austria’s seal of approval goes beyond a mere label; it is a powerful trust signal in both B2B and B2C markets.
Verified Claims: Businesses using TÜV Austria–certified bags can confidently market them as truly compostable, reducing greenwashing concerns and regulatory risks.
Consumer Assurance: End users searching for eco‑friendly solutions instantly recognize the OK Compost logos, boosting purchase intent and brand loyalty.
