Biodegradability testing.
Our lab services test how biodegradable your materials are, how well they compost, and their ecosystem impact. Data to build a competitive edge and sustainability confidence.
Quick Screen
A low-cost screening test for likely compostability.
A rapid 20-day test with results in about a month, to help you choose which materials to pursue for marketing and further testing.
Get in touchISO 20200
Lab-scale industrial composting simulation.
Samples are incubated in a synthetic compost mix and observed for at least three months to measure how well the material disintegrates.
Get in touchEcoTox testing
Ecosystem safety during biodegradation.
Assesses ecosystem safety as the material breaks down and checks for chemicals of concern. We measure 200+ components including metals, volatile organics, phenols, chlorinated and petroleum hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds and pesticides.
Get in touchPlant Response Testing
Does it help or harm what grows next?
Evaluates how plants grow in compost containing the biodegraded material, and whether the material enriches the soil.
Get in touchISO 20136
A leather-specific biodegradability method.
The material is exposed to bacteria and CO₂ output is measured with infrared equipment accurate to 1 ppm. More CO₂ means more biodegradable.
