Aimplas, the Plastics Technology Centre, has introduced a test that is said to reduce biodegradability evaluation time by two-thirds compared to standardized methods. This development aims to support the plastic packaging industry’s transition toward environmentally responsible alternatives.The conventional biodegradation testing process remains a hurdle, being both time-consuming and costly. The advancement from Aimplas promises to explore formulations during early-stage product development, enabling companies to make faster and more cost-effective decisions.
