In the pursuit of sustainable materials, terms like "biodegradable" and "compostable" are often used, sometimes interchangeably. However, these terms indicate distinct processes and standards. Defining Biodegradable and Compostable Plastics Biodegradable Plastics: These are plastics that can be broken down by microorganisms into water, carbon dioxide (or methane), [...]

Not all biodegradable plastics behave the same way. Some require industrial composting, others begin degrading under natural outdoor conditions, and some, like those enhanced with additives such as EcoPure®, are specifically engineered to biodegrade only in biologically active landfill environments. This approach may seem counterintuitive at first, but there’s [...]

Increasing regulatory scrutiny and consumer demand for transparency mean vague or unsubstantiated environmental statements can damage a company’s credibility and even invite legal consequences. That’s why incorporating certified biodegradation testing into your product sustainability claims and development process is essential. What Is Biodegradation Testing? Biodegradation testing measures [...]
