The ASTM D6400 test covers plastics and products made from plastics designed to be composted in municipal and industrial aerobic composting facilities.
This specification aims to set requirements for labeling materials and products, including packaging made of plastic, as "compostable in municipal and industrial composting facilities".
Compostable plastic refers to the ability of compoundable materials to biodegrade during composting. A material is paper, plastic, etc. contains, if claimed to have composting capability, it should be noted that the material is biodegradable and degradable in the compost system (as demonstrated in standard testing methods) and fully biodegradable in end use.
The properties in this specification are those required to determine whether plastics and products made from plastics will compost satisfactorily, including biodegradability, comparable to known compostable materials.
Also, specifications in the specification are required to ensure that the degradation of these materials will not reduce the value or utility of the compost from the composting process.
Our organization also provides testing services to businesses within the scope of ASTM D6400 Standard Specification for Compostable Plastics, within the framework of laboratory testing services.
