As I understand it, "compostable in industrial facilities" means the industrial facility has a process to separate materials that didn't completely compost and re-compost them a second or third time until it finally does compost. A homeowner's compost pile might not have enough volume to reach compost perfection and such products may require a year's worth (or more) of composting cycles to finally break down, leading to the NO COMPOST FOR YOU warning.
Biodegradable is fun labeling. Technically even nuclear waste is biodegradable given enough millennia. Most plastic looking things labeled as biodegradable just have extra chemicals added to allow things to break down without exposure to UV.
