Anaerobic Biodegradation Testing
What is Anaerobic Biodegradation Testing?
Anaerobic biodegradation testing evaluates the breakdown of plastics and other materials under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions. This test measures methane emissions generated as materials decompose in environments such as landfills or anaerobic digesters. It helps to understand the biodegradation characteristics of materials in anaerobic environments and assess their environmental suitability.
