BIODEGRADATION TESTING & STANDARDS
To ensure full transparency, we test the biodegradation of EcoPure®-treated products at independent, third-party laboratories. We recommend that our customers also test the biodegradation of their finished products through accredited third-party labs to obtain strong, independent validation for any claims they choose to make.
​
EcoPure®-treated plastic articles have been tested under ISO and ASTM biodegradation standards, and we can provide test results for a wide range of plastic resins.
