Bioplastics Laboratory Services

Bioplastics

The bioplastics industry encompasses the development, production, and marketing of plastics derived from renewable biological resources. This sector represents a pivotal shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fossil fuel-based plastics. Bioplastics are gaining prominence for their reduced environmental impact, biodegradability, and in some cases, compostability, addressing global challenges of plastic pollution and carbon emissions.

Bioplastics Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Bioplastics testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

Biodegradability testing: Assessing the rate and extent to which a bioplastic product breaks down in a specific environment
such as composting conditions or aquatic environments
Mechanical property testing: Measuring tensile strength
elasticity
and other mechanical characteristics to determine the suitability of bioplastics for various applications
Chemical resistance testing: Evaluating how bioplastics react to various chemicals
solvents
and environmental factors to ensure product durability and performance
Barrier property testing: Assessing the permeability of bioplastics to gases
vapors
and liquids
which is crucial for packaging applications

Type of Bioplastics Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Bioplastics finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

Biodegradable plastics: Plastics that decompose naturally in the environment through the action of living organisms. Examples include PLA (Polylactic Acid)
PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates)
and PBS (Polybutylene Succinate)
Bio-based plastics: Plastics produced from renewable sources but not necessarily biodegradable. Examples include bio-PE (Polyethylene)
bio-PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)
and bio-PA (Polyamide)
Biocomposites: Materials composed of biological fibers (like hemp
flax
or wood) and a bioplastic matrix
used for their enhanced mechanical properties and environmental benefits
