ANSI Endorsement of ASTM D6954-24 Marks a Major Step for Oxo-Biodegradable Plastics

Leave a Comment / News / / ,

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) now lists ASTM D6954-24, a standard that provides clear guidelines for testing oxo-biodegradable plastics. This is a significant step because it validates the science behind oxo-biodegradable technology. The standard outlines how plastics should be exposed and tested to show they can degrade through oxidation and then biodegrade in the […]

While oxo-degradable plastics break into persistent microplastics, oxo-biodegradable plastics are engineered to fully break down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass through a two-stage process of oxidation and microbial action.
