ASTM D7475 Standard Test Method for Determining Aerobic Degradation of Plastic Materials in Accelerated Bioreactor Landfill Conditions

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D7475 testing. This test method is used to determine the extent and rate of anaerobic biodegradation and anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in an accelerated bioreactor storage test environment, which is considered anaerobic degradation only.

Simulates the transition from aerobic to anaerobic environments as the landfill depth increases. Plastic materials found in landfills include discarded plastic items such as bags and wrappings, as well as plastic wraps that are deliberately applied as an interlayer sealant between daily landfills to prevent debris from being blown away by the wind during the night or at other closed times. This modification is a two-stage test method that addresses aerobic degradation and anaerobic biodegradation.

This test method produces comparative data for various materials and should not be used to make claims about the benefits of placing degradable or biodegradable plastics in landfills. Claims should be limited to and tied to the results from each stage.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
