Biodegradability Testing Made Simple with BPC® Blue:

Plastics and packaging materials are more sustainable when they are biodegradable. To understand how these materials break down, it’s essential to test them under different environmental conditions such as soil, water, landfill, or composting sites.

Why Biodegradability Testing Matter? 

• Different environments, different results: Biodegradable polymers degrade differently in soil, fresh or marine water, landfill, or compost.
• Aerobic testing: Measures oxygen demand or carbon dioxide release in a closed respirometer.

• Anaerobic testing: Evaluates biogas release (methane + carbon dioxide) when oxygen is absent.

• Certification vs. screening:

• Certification tests → Required for official claims and compliance.
• Screening tests → Ideal for internal research and development.

Why Choose BPC Blue ?

BPC® Blue is an advacned respirometer for Biodegradability designed for both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability analyses of plastics and polymer materials in a wide range of simulated environmental conditions.

Key Features:

• Anaerobic biodegradability: Accurate biogas analysis in aqueous media, slurry digestion systems, and high-solids digestion.
• Aerobic biodegradability: Works with our patented in-situ CO₂ absorption kit to measure oxygen demand in a closed respirometer system.
• Dual-function platform: Supports both aerobic and anaerobic testing across diverse environmental conditions.
• Standards compliance: Meets major ISO, European, and American biodegradability standards.

  Benefits for Researchers & Industry:

• Reliable biodegradability data for certification and R&D
• Flexible testing across multiple environments
• Easy integration with international standards
