Beginning January 1, 2017, the new law will require single-use carrier bags thinner than 50 microns \u2013 often called fruit and vegetable bags \u2013 to meet the French standard (T51-800 standard) for home composting. The law also applies to plastic packaging used for mail publications.<\/p>\n<p>OnColor BIO color concentrates perform well with the bioplastics used in these applications. Available in a full palette of color choices, these colorants do not compromise the organic decomposition of the polymers they enhance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PolyOne announced at K 2016 that its OnColor\u2122 BIO color concentrates have received OK compost HOME certification from Vin\u00e7otte, a leading independent firm.
