Biodegradable Testing Instruments

Biodegradable plastics are degraded by microorganisms, chewed up either in carbon dioxide, water and biomass under specified conditions. These plastics are becoming better substitutes as consumers demand green alternatives. They can be broken down by microbes and turned alongside food and other organic waste into compost. The most widely used standard tests to measure biodegradability of plastics are ASTM and EN. The properties in this specification determine which use plastics and polymers as coatings or binders will compost satisfactorily. Biodegradable plastics offer better solutions in many applications such as organic waste collection, agricultural and horticultural sectors, food packaging and disposable tableware.

The quality of these plastics must be tested before it is served for usage in the market so that it does not disappoint customers. Biodegradable Plastic Testing Instruments measure the quality of the plastics that are used in various industries for catering the customer requirements.
