PLA Compostable Spunbond Nonwoven EN13432 Certified India — Favourite Fab
PLA compostable spunbond nonwoven fabric certified to EN13432 from Favourite Fab gives manufacturers a fully biodegradable raw material that meets international composting standards. Favourite Fab supplies PLA spunbond rolls from its Agra facility to hygiene, agricultural, and packaging OEMs requiring certified compostable nonwoven inputs.
What Is PLA Compostable Spunbond Nonwoven
PLA (polylactic acid) spunbond nonwoven is made from biopolymer resin derived from renewable plant starch — typically corn or sugarcane. The PLA resin is extruded into continuous filaments, bonded thermally, and wound into rolls. The resulting fabric is soft, breathable, and fully compostable under industrial composting conditions as defined in EN13432 and ASTM D6400.
EN13432 certification confirms that the material disintegrates by more than 90% within 12 weeks under controlled composting conditions and leaves no toxic residues. This makes PLA spunbond eligible for use in products marketed as compostable or certified biodegradable across EU, US, and Asian markets.
For B2B manufacturers, PLA spunbond nonwoven enables compliance with single-use plastics directives, retailer sustainability mandates, and end-product composting claims. It is suitable as a drop-in replacement for PP spunbond in applications where composting certification is a product requirement.

Applications in Manufacturing
PLA compostable spunbond is used primarily in hygiene product manufacturing for compostable sanitary napkin topsheets, baby wipe substrates, and panty liner covers. Manufacturers launching certified compostable product lines use EN13432 PLA spunbond to substantiate biodegradability claims with third-party certification.
Agricultural nonwoven manufacturers use PLA spunbond for crop covers, seedling mats, and mulch films where in-field decomposition after the growing season is required. The material degrades in industrial composting facilities and, at sufficient moisture and temperature, in managed in-field compost systems.
Packaging manufacturers use PLA spunbond for compostable bags, produce wraps, and protective padding where retailers or retailers’ sustainability specifications require certified compostable packaging components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Favourite Fab’s PLA spunbond certified to EN13432?
A: Yes. Favourite Fab supplies PLA spunbond nonwoven with EN13432 certification. The certification documentation is provided with each certified shipment for use in product claims and retailer audits.
Q: Can PLA spunbond be used on standard PP nonwoven converting lines?
A: PLA spunbond can run on most converting lines with temperature adjustments. PLA has a lower melting point than PP so bonding and heat-sealing parameters must be reduced. Favourite Fab provides technical guidance on parameter adjustment on request.
Q: Does PLA compostable nonwoven decompose in home composting conditions?
A: EN13432 certifies industrial composting at controlled temperatures of 55–60°C. Home composting decomposition rates are slower and depend on conditions. For home-compostable claims, a separate OK Home Compost certification is required.
Q: What GSM range is available for PLA spunbond from Favourite Fab?
A: Favourite Fab supplies PLA compostable spunbond from 12 GSM for hygiene topsheet applications to 80 GSM for agricultural and packaging uses. Custom intermediate weights are available on enquiry.
Q: Can Favourite Fab supply PLA spunbond for export to the European Union?
A: Yes. Favourite Fab exports to EU markets with EN13432 certificates and REACH declarations. The material complies with EU Single-Use Plastics Directive exemptions for certified compostable materials.
