The objective of this study was to find out whether the quality of compost would change during the process of composting carrier bags claimed by manufacturers as compostable or biodegradable in terms of parameters stipulated in the standard ČSN 46 5735 Industrial composts. Eight samples were subjected to the composting process in laboratory conditions. The compost samples were analyzed in the accredited laboratory. All samples met parameters stipulated for Class II. Seven samples of the eight met parameters stipulated in the standard ČSN 46 5735 for Class I. The samples had no influence on compost characteristics: strength, content of water and salt, pH value, content of nutrients or proportion of organic substances; other components of the compost remained unchanged. Optical changes of the compost did not occur either.

Celem badań było określenie wpływu procesu kompostowania „jednorazowych” plastikowych toreb dostępnych na rynku, które są oznaczone jako biodegradowalne/degradowalne, jak również toreb certyfikowanych jako nadające się do kompostu, na jakość kompostu oraz dotrzymania wymagań określonych w normie CSN 46 5735 Komposty przemysłowe. Osiem próbek poddano procesowi kompostowania w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Próbki powstałego kompostu analizowano w akredytowanym laboratorium. Wszystkie próbki spełniały parametry określone w normie dla klasy II. Siedem z ośmiu próbek spełniało parametry określone w normie CSN 46 5735 dla klasy I. Próbki poddane recyklingowi organicznemu nie miały wpływu na właściwości kompostu: konsystencję, zawartość wody i soli, wartość pH, zawartość składników odżywczych lub stosunek substancji organicznych; składniki kompostu pozostały niezmienione. Nie zaobserwowano także zmian w wyglądzie kompostu
