BIOCONVERSION
Science & Certification

Certified. Tested.
Independently verified.

BioConversion meet the standards your customers, regulators, and procurement teams require. Not marketing claims — verifiable test results.

Testing standards

Each BFA batch is tested against internationally recognised standards. These aren't optional certifications — they're the baseline for market entry in most regulated markets.

ASTM D5511

Anaerobic biodegradation in landfill conditions

Tests biodegradation of plastic materials in a high-solids anaerobic environment — replicating real landfill conditions including microbial population, temperature, and gas generation. The benchmark standard for landfill end-of-life claims.

Why it matters

Required by waste management regulators and municipal procurement in the US, Europe, and increasingly in Asia-Pacific markets.

ASTM D6400

Compostability in industrial composting

Defines the requirements for plastics and products made from plastics to be labelled as compostable. Tests for complete aerobic biodegradation, disintegration, and no adverse effects on the composting process or resulting compost.

Why it matters

Required for any food-service or packaging application making compostability claims in the US market and for EN 13432-equivalent compliance in the EU.

ISO 14855

Aerobic biodegradation in controlled composting

International standard for determining the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions by measurement of evolved CO₂. The international equivalent of ASTM D6400.

Why it matters

Required for EU and international market access where EN 13432 or equivalent compostability certification is mandated.

Testing methodology

BFA batches are tested at independent third-party laboratories. Results are not self-reported — every certificate references the testing lab, the batch number, and the specific test conditions.

Chain of custody: Each production batch is assigned a unique identifier traceable from raw material through to finished additive. Test certificates reference specific batch numbers, not product families.

Batch consistency: Formulation consistency is validated against a defined specification range. Batches outside tolerance are not released — certificates are issued per batch, not per product line.

Independent verification: We do not run in-house acceptance testing as the primary certification basis. Third-party laboratory results govern.

What this means for your business

Verifiable claims, not marketing

Your customers can request documentation. Your sustainability team can audit it. Your procurement can sign off on it. Claims backed by independently verified test results hold up to scrutiny — marketing language doesn't.

Regulatory compliance

Markets with mandatory end-of-life requirements — EU Packaging Regulation, California SB 54, various national plastic bans — require certification, not self-declaration. BFA certification satisfies these requirements.

Supply chain traceability

Every batch certified. Every certificate referenced to a batch number. When your customer asks for documentation on the specific production run, you have it.

Full technical documentation available under NDA.

Test reports, certificates of analysis, formulation data, and application-specific testing are available to qualified opportunities. Submit your specification to request access.
