What is Biodegradability and Ecotoxicity?
Biodegradability is the ability of a material to break down through biological activity into smaller molecules like carbon dioxide and water. The OECD 301 Guidelines are widely used to measure biodegradation. Ecotoxicity assesses the impact of substances on living organisms in various ecosystems. Both are critical for regulatory compliance and certifications, following OECD or ISO guidelines.
Our testing services ensure your products meet these standards, protecting the environment and ensuring regulatory compliance.
