We would like to introduce "Model Case 4: Evaluation of Biodegradability." We conduct evaluations of biodegradation rates and degrees of decomposition necessary for the development, introduction, use, and approval of biodegradable materials, represented by biodegradable plastics. Lombic is a certified testing organization of JBPA. The measurement principle involves calculating the degree of decomposition by measuring the amount of CO2 released during the respiration of microorganisms as they decompose the plastic. [Details of our JBPA Certified Testing Organization] ■ Certification Testing Organization Number: JBPA-7 ■ Subject: Biodegradation Test JIS K6953-2 (ISO 14855-2) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our service for "Evaluation of the Decomposition State of Biodegradable Plastics." For biodegradable plastics such as PLA (polylactic acid), we can observe the changes in appearance in compost over time, allowing us to monitor the decomposition process. In the examples provided in the related links, we conducted tests using compost as specified in JIS K6953-2 (ISO 14855-2) with plastic sheets; however, the measurement conditions and specimen sizes can be adjusted, so please feel free to consult us. 【Example】 ■ Compost used in JIS K6953-2 (ISO 14855-2) ■ Use of plastic sheets ■ Subjects: Biodegradable plastics A/B/C, non-biodegradable plastics (for comparison) ■ Observation intervals: 0 days, 10 days, 16 days, 35 days, 49 days *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our service for "Measurement of Biodegradation Rate of Biodegradable Plastics (MODA)." For biodegradable plastics such as PLA (polylactic acid) and PBS (polybutylene succinate), we can measure the biodegradation rate in accordance with standards (JIS K 6953-2, ISO 14855-2). The measurement principle involves calculating the degree of degradation (degradation rate) by measuring the CO2 produced during respiration when microorganisms decompose the plastic. 【Equipment Information】 ■ Testing Equipment: Microbial Oxidative Decomposition Measurement Device (MODA-CS) manufactured by Yahata Bussan Co., Ltd. ■ Analysis Items: Degree of Degradation, Degradation Rate ■ Testing Standards: JIS K 6953-2, ISO 14855-2, ISO 17556 *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
