Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) is a nonprofit organization based in New York that acts as North America’s science-based authority on compostable products and packaging. It supports a shift toward a circular economy by promoting how materials are designed to fully biodegrade in targeted biologically active environments, how they are used, and how they are disposed at end of life. The organization operates a certification program and pairs it with education and advocacy aimed at keeping food scraps and other organics out of landfills. 

Its work is targeted at industries and organizations seeking credible standards for compostable materials and packaging, helping ensure products perform as intended in composting streams and informing policy discussions around labeling and environment-specific suitability. In September 2025, BPI launched a Commercial & Home Compostable Certification program to formalize criteria across commercial and home composting contexts.
