Plastics — Determination of the ultimate anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in an aqueous system — Method by measurement of biogas production
ISO 14853:2005 specifies a method for the determination of the ultimate anaerobic biodegradability of plastics by anaerobic microorganisms. The conditions described in the standard do not necessarily correspond to the optimum conditions for the maximum degree of biodegradation to occur. The test calls for exposure of the test material to sludge for a period of up to 60 days, which is longer than the normal sludge retention time (25 to 30 days) in anaerobic digesters, though digesters at industrial sites can have much longer retention times.
The method applies to the following materials:
