Biodegradability and compostability of polymeric materials in the context of the European packaging regulation

摘要: The treatment of compostable packaging, made from natural and synthetic polymeric materials, in controlled composting anaerobic facilities can be an important method reducing garbage. A pre-requisite for official regulations the decision as to which materials may composted is investigations on their biodegradability quality compost produced. To fulfil requirements a European directive packaging waste, standardization group at CEN has developed definitions, test methods system differentiating non-compostable material. After characterization material determined preferably laboratory aerobic based evolution carbon dioxide. tests are followed by disintegration analysis determine
