This innovative solution allows companies to streamline decision-making in the development of compostable materials.
The plastics industry is moving towards a more sustainable model, driven by circular economy principles and innovation in biodegradable and compostable materials. However, conventional biodegradation tests, as required by current regulations, are time-consuming and costly, limiting companies’ ability to explore new formulations from the early stages of development.
To address this challenge, AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, has developed a pioneering methodology that enables the biodegradability of plastic materials to be evaluated in just one third of the time needed for standardized tests. This innovation represents a strategic breakthrough for companies, enabling faster and more efficient industrial and commercial decision-making.
