Fourth update of the well-known poster showing biodegradable polymers in different environments according to established standards and certification schemes. This update has been done within the PerPlacsBio project. The project is funded by the Fachagentur f\u00fcr Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR) in Germany under the \u201cNachhaltige Erneuerbare Ressourcen\u201d funding program.<\/p>\n
Beginning of 2026, the expert group exchanged about the latest scientific evidence in the field of biodegradable polymers in order to make meaningful changes to the poster. The generic classification on the poster is only supported by tests performed in the context of certification. Therefore, the expert group has decided to include \u201ebiodegradability for certain grades\u201c of PBSA, PBS and PBAT in additional environments, including soil, freshwater and marine conditions, as well as home composting for PBS. Additionally, more precise explanations of the norms used in composting and marine biodegradation have been added, as well as clearer definitions of ‘biodegradability not proven’ and ‘slower biodegrading polymers’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
