摘要: In order to classify packaging materials as capable of organic recovery according the regulation European Union, intended must be tested for their compostability. An important prerequisite is determination biodegradability by standardized test methods. Details tests are not comprehensible without further knowledge problems biodegradation testing. The methods and limit values used evaluate results presented discussed against background established chemicals. Furthermore problem ecotoxicity in connection with compost quality an overview laboratories given.
