BPI Certified Compostable Products Catalog

Scrapes BPI's Certified Compostable Products catalog — the full public database of BPI-approved compostable products and licensed companies, down to individual SKU/item number — into clean, structured JSON. Data comes directly from the site's own public search endpoint, so every run returns current, accurate certification data rather than a partial page scrape.

Why use this Actor?

BPI certification confirms a product is independently verified as compostable in industrial (and, where marked, home) composting conditions. This Actor is useful for:

• Foodservice and packaging buyers sourcing verified compostable bags, cups, containers, and cutlery by category or subcategory.
• Sustainability and procurement teams confirming a supplier's product actually carries active BPI certification before listing it as compostable.
• Compost facility operators and municipal programs cross-referencing accepted brands/SKUs against BPI's official list.
• AI agents and research pipelines that need machine-readable certification data instead of manually paging through the BPI site's search UI.

How to use this Actor

1. Click Try for free (or Run) on this Actor's page.
2. Optionally set a Keyword (company, product, brand, or SKU) and choose Result type (Product or Company).
3. Adjust Max items if you need more than the default 100.
4. Click Start and download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab.

Input

Field	Type	Description
keyword	string	Search term matched against company/product/SKU/brand (optional).
resultType	string	product or company (default product).
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of rows to return (default 100).
delaySeconds	number	Polite delay before each page fetch (default 1.0s).
concurrency	integer	How many result pages to fetch at once (default 3).

Output

Each item represents one product (or company, if resultType is company):

{

  "company_slug": "companies/kinger-industry-inc",

Notes

• No proxies or browser automation needed — the catalog's own search form POSTs to a public JSON endpoint; the Actor fetches a session cookie + CSRF token from the homepage once per run, the same way a real browser would.
• Fetches result pages in bounded concurrency batches (concurrency input), each still waiting delaySeconds before requesting, so per-request politeness to the target site is unchanged regardless of concurrency.
• Company-only fields (brand, sku, product_name, category, subcategory, color, thickness, home_thickness) are null when resultType is company.
