Biodegradable Plastic Product Testing Services

In recent years, ubiquitous plastic products have made environmental pollution more and more serious.Europe, the United States, and China have successively introduced "plastic restriction orders" to prohibit the production and sale of certain plastic productspromote green plastic productsexplore new business forms, standardize the recycling and disposal of plastic waste, and specialize in the treatment of plastic waste.

CTI provides you with professional testing services for biodegradable plastic products. Applicable products include disposable tableware, postal express packaging products, hotel supplies, resin and starch products, and plant fiber molded products.The test methods include a series of standards including GB/T 19277.1-2011, ISO 14855-1:2012,help enterprises to control the quality and safety of materials.

Biodegradable Plastic Product Testing Services

◉    Service Background

At the beginning of 2020, the "China Plastic Restriction Order" triggered heated discussions. Plastic products can no longer be used arbitrarily."Plastic restriction orders" throughout the country have been upgraded successively, prohibiting the use of certain non-degradable plastic products.

To help the implementation of the national "plastic restriction order", and help enterprises solve the compliance problems of biodegradable products with the most reasonable test plan and the lowest test cost. CTI can provide you with the following professional services and customized solutions.

◉   Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is biodegradation?

Biodegradation is a chemical process in which materials are metabolised to CO2, water, and biomass with the help of microorganisms. The process of biodegradation depends on the conditions (e.g. location, temperature, humidity, presence of microorganisms, etc.) of the specific environment (industrial composting plant, garden compost, soil, water, etc.) and on the material or application itself.

 

2.What are the common biodegradable plastics?

The most common biodegradable plastic is polylactic acid (PLA), others include: polybutylene succinate (PBS), polysuccinic acid-terephthalate-butylene glycol ester (PBAT), polybutylene Acid-adipate-butanediol ester (PBSA), polycaprolactone (PCL), starch-based plastics (Starch), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyhydroxy fatty acid ester polymers (PHA) ,etc.

 

3. What is qualitative analysis?

Qualitative analysis refers to what kind of thing/substance it is. It only determines what the component is, not how much it is.

 

4. How to choose the biodegradation performance test plan?

The biodegradation rate test is applicable to plastic raw material manufacturers, plastic modification enterprises and product manufacturers;

Qualitative analysis of biodegradable products is applicable to product distributors and consumers;

Quantitative analysis of biodegradable products is applicable to product manufacturers (non plastic raw material manufacturers).
