The Directive doesn't allow for a clear distinction between biodegradable products that should biodegrade in natural conditions in the environment, and compostable products that only biodegrade in industrial composting facilities.
Direktiiv ei võimalda teha selget vahet biolagunevate toodete, mis peaksid lagunema keskkonnas looduslikel tingimustel, ja komposteeritavate toodete vahel, mis lagunevad ainult tööstuslikes komposteerimisrajatistes.
