Small hardware, zip pulls, buttons and trims where a genuinely degradable component is wanted.
Not for structural or load-bearing hardware. Not for products stored long-term in warm humid conditions.
Genuinely biodegradable under the right conditions, which is rare and worth something. But the certificate almost always specifies industrial composting — if no facility in your customer’s market accepts the item, the property is real and the outcome is unchanged.

Radiocarbon testing measures where the carbon came from and nothing else: bio-based is not biodegradable, not compostable and not low-carbon. A sheet certified at 70% bio-based still leaves 30% unaccounted for, so ask what that fraction is.
