Anaerobic Biodegradation Testing
What is Anaerobic Biodegradation Testing?
This test evaluates the biodegradability of plastics and other materials under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions. It measures the methane emissions produced as waste decomposes in landfills or anaerobic digesters. This helps identify the biodegradation characteristics of materials in anaerobic environments and assess their environmental compatibility.
