Certifying biodegradable products ensures they meet specific environmental standards, particularly regarding their ability to decompose under certain conditions. Two prominent standards in this realm are ASTM D5511 and ASTM D5526, both developed by ASTM International. These standards provide methodologies to assess the anaerobic biodegradability of plastic materials, simulating conditions found in landfills. Understanding ASTM D5511 […]

What Is Biodegradable Nitrile? Biodegradable nitrile rubber has been treated to break down more quickly in natural environments like landfills. Unlike untreated gloves that can take over a century to decompose, these treated gloves biodegrade much faster. Understanding Testing Methods To gauge how well biodegradable nitrile performs, it’s crucial to know how its biodegradability is […]
