ISO 15380 Biodegradable Plastics Packaging Testing
The ISO 15380 standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating biodegradable plastics used in packaging, ensuring they meet stringent environmental criteria. This testing service is essential for manufacturers and suppliers of biodegradable materials aiming to comply with international standards and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
Biodegradable plastics are designed to break down into natural elements under specific conditions such as soil, compost, or marine environments. The ISO 15380 testing protocol focuses on the biodegradation process, which involves assessing the rate at which these materials decompose and their ability to release carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water vapor.
The testing procedure typically includes several key steps: specimen preparation, incubation under controlled environmental conditions, observation of decomposition rates, and quantification of CO₂ production. Compliance with this standard is crucial for packaging manufacturers who seek to reduce waste in landfills and promote eco-friendly alternatives.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the ISO 15380 protocol, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Specimens are carefully prepared according to industry best practices before undergoing controlled biodegradation testing. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to replicate various environmental conditions necessary for thorough evaluation.
The importance of this standard cannot be overstated, especially as the demand for sustainable packaging continues to grow. By adhering to ISO 15380, companies can ensure their products meet stringent environmental requirements and contribute positively to global sustainability efforts.
