Standard Biodegradability Testing
Assesses how materials break down in natural environments
What is Biodegradability testing?
Biodegradability testing assesses how materials break down in natural environments, playing a vital role in evaluating environmental impact and sustainability.
Our accredited laboratory and expert team provide comprehensive, science-backed testing solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you're developing new products or assessing the environmental footprint of existing materials, we help navigate the complexities of biodegradability testing with you.
Reliable scientific data is essential for substantiating environmental claims, ensuring transparency, credibility, and trust with stakeholders and customers, while avoiding the risks of greenwashing.
Which Products Benefit Most from Biodegradability?
- Cosmetics, cleaning products, and paints (polymers in liquid formulations)
- Food packaging and single-use items (to minimise long-term waste)
- Plastics (especially in cases where recycling or proper disposal is challenging)
Switching to biodegradable materials where it makes sense to can significantly reduce your product's negative impact on the environment while meeting environmental regulations.
Please get in contact with us to find out about testing your product for biodegradability. One of our team members will get back to you promptly and will provide a timeframe and cost breakdown for your material or product.
