ISO 16620-2 Biobased Content Testing of Recycled Plastics
The ISO 16620 series provides a comprehensive framework for the determination and declaration of biobased content in plastics. This service focuses specifically on the testing method described in ISO 16620-2, which allows for accurate quantification of the biobased carbon content in recycled plastic materials. This is crucial for industries aiming to reduce their environmental footprint by incorporating sustainable practices.
The process begins with a detailed analysis of the specimen's chemical composition, focusing on identifying and quantifying the biobased components derived from renewable biomass sources such as plant-based raw materials. The test involves complex analytical techniques that ensure precision in measuring the carbon content derived from fossil fuels versus those from biological sources.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 16620-2, ensuring compliance with international standards and providing reliable data for your sustainability initiatives. This testing is particularly beneficial for manufacturers of recycled plastics who wish to verify the environmental credentials of their products.
The significance of this service extends beyond mere certification; it provides valuable insights into the true biobased content of recycled plastic materials. This knowledge can inform process improvements, material selection, and product design decisions that align with broader sustainability goals.
