Biodegradable Testing Services

Q: How is the biodegradability of my product determined in this testing service?

A: We assess biodegradability using standard methods like aerobic composting, soil burial, and water immersion as per ISO 14855, ASTM D5338, and EN 13432. Your sample undergoes detailed monitoring for CO2 evolution, disintegration percentage, and visual analysis, giving an accurate assessment of its biodegradability and compostability.

Q: What types of samples are accepted for testing, and what quantity is required?

A: We accept biodegradable polymer samples such as films, containers, packaging, and cutlery, provided in a minimum quantity of 10 grams per test. Samples should match standard laboratory sizes, with weight as per submitted material, to ensure uniform testing procedures.

Q: When can I expect to receive my test results, and in what format?

A: Testing typically requires 30 to 180 days, depending on the protocol and sample type. Once complete, we provide a comprehensive test report in digital PDF format and also deliver a hard copy upon request.

Q: Where are the tests conducted, and can I access on-site services?

A: We perform tests at both off-site laboratories and designated on-site locations across India, depending on client needs and the nature of the samples. This flexibility ensures we can accommodate a wide range of testing requirements.
