Unpacking ASTM D6954: How PlasticIQ & Biobottles Meets and Exceeds Standards

The prevalence of plastic waste is a universal problem, one that requires effective and eco-friendly solutions. As plastic pollution mounts, innovators across the globe are developing solutions to help counteract this growing concern. One such solution is PlasticIQ, a groundbreaking product that is not only in full compliance with the ASTM D6954 standard but also offers assurance about safety and efficiency.

The ASTM D6954 standard is a comprehensive guide developed by ASTM International. It sets out a detailed process for exposing and testing plastics designed to degrade in the environment via a blend of oxidation and biodegradation. The standard involves three crucial phases:

  1. Tier 1 – Controlled Environment Testing: This phase tests how well the plastic undergoes oxidative degradation in a controlled environment. The plastic is exposed to conditions simulating natural weathering, such as elevated temperatures and UV radiation. The goal is to ensure that the plastic can degrade and fragment into smaller pieces, increasing its surface area for more efficient biodegradation.
  2. Tier 2 – Controlled Environment Testing: The second phase involves assessing the biodegradability of the fragmented plastic material. This assessment is typically performed in simulated biological environments under lab conditions. The plastic’s biodegradability is then determined by monitoring the generated carbon dioxide over a set period.
  3. Tier 3 – Real-World Testing: The final tier evaluates the plastic material’s environmental impact post oxidative degradation and biodegradation. It investigates whether any toxic substances are released during the process and if any residual material causes harm to plant or animal life.

The Intelligent Composition of PlasticIQ™

PlasticIQ™ is crafted with an intelligent composition of additives that accelerate the oxidation process of the plastic under certain conditions. This process, which is entirely safe and leaves no harmful residue, allows the plastic to convert into a fine, waxy material that microorganisms can further break down. Each batch of Biobottles™ is meticulously tested to ensure that it begins and completes this transformation process within the expected time frame.

Beyond our laboratory doors, we continuously monitor the real-world performance of PlasticIQ™. We monitor all known field studies that expose our product and similar bio-transformative technologies to diverse environmental conditions and follow the degradation process and results from start to finish. By doing this, we can confidently say PlasticIQ™ performs optimally under various climatic conditions, is safe, and leaves behind no microplastics.

Safety: At the Heart of PlasticIQ™

We want to emphasize that safety is at the heart of everything we do. The entire degradation process of PlasticIQ™ Technology is designed to be non-toxic. Third-party tests consistently show that as plastic degrades, it doesn’t release any harmful substances into the environment. Moreover, once fully degraded, it doesn’t leave any toxic material behind.
