“…In 2010 the certification program was expanded to include compostable products of all types, following the adoption of the standard CAN/BNQ 0017-988. This serves to adopt the standard ISO 17088 as the national standard for Canada. It is important to note that the original program for the certification of compostable plastic bags (BNQ 9011-911/2007) will soon be cancelled to be replaced entirely by the certification program for compostable products (CAN/BNQ 0017-988). “
