Biodegradability Testing

There is increasing global attention towards the continual disposal of plastics, which harm our environment. This has led to stringent calls for more eco-friendly plastics that biodegrade. But what is "biodegradable"? Biodegradable refers to the ability of a material to break down and decompose quickly and naturally into harmless substances, such as water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, by the action of microorganisms like bacteria or fungi. The degradability of plastics can be evaluated in laboratory. At Alfa Chemistry, we understand the value of your efforts in creating biodegradable plastics and we are here to help. We offer a professional plastic biodegradability testing service to ensure that your plastic products are conducive to the environment.

Our testing scope includes but not limited to

The samples in shape of powder, pellets, granular, sheets, film and molded products are all can be tested.

Standards we test to (ISO 14855-1:2012)

Our testing service strictly adheres to ISO 14855-1:2012 standards – the internationally recognized norm for the determination of the aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions. This method is designed to yield the ultimate aerobic biodegradation and disintegration of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions in a laboratory scale test environment. ISO 14855-1:2012 is widely used by plastic material manufacturers and recyclers to assess the potential for recycling and/or disposal of plastic products. The standard is also used to assess the environmental impact of plastic materials. Adherence to this standard ensures the accuracy and reliability of our test results.

What can our biodegradability testing help

Biodegradation testing offers valuable insight into the potential eco-friendliness of your products. It helps in:

• Determining the lifespan and behavior of plastic materials in the environment, which is crucial for waste management.
• Ensuring that your products comply with biodegradability standards, which will give you an edge over your competitors.
• Complying with legislative standards thereby avoiding potential financial penalties and damage to your brand's reputation.
