Biodegradability and physical performance testing

Home > Our Markets > Food and Agriculture > Testing Service > Biodegradability and physical performance testing

Project background

Plastic products, paper products, etc. play an important role in daily life, physical performance index can be used as a standard to measure the quality of products, in addition to traditional plastics, emerging biodegradable plastics are also widely concerned.

Biodegradable plastics refer to the degradation caused by microorganisms existing in nature, such as soil, sand, fresh water environment, seawater environment, specific conditions, such as composting conditions or anaerobic digestion conditions. And will eventually fully degrade to a plastic form of carbon dioxide (CO₂) or/methane (CH₄), water (H₂O), mineralized inorganic salts of the elements contained therein, and new biomass such as microbial dead bodies.

Laws and Regulations Basis

Food related products: Food Safety Law, Product Quality Law, interim Measures for Product Quality Supervision and Sampling Inspection management, Detailed rules for implementation of food related Product production License, etc

Mulching: administrative measures for agricultural mulching
