    The main objective of this webinar is to explain basic concepts of compostability and biodegradability terminology and to present TECNALIA's capabilities in evaluating compostable and biodegradable materials.

    It will provide an overview of the current terminology and regulations. It will also include a presentation of the requirements of the UNE-EN 13432 standard for containers and packaging, with an emphasis on the tests that must be carried out to demonstrate that a material is compostable and/or biodegradable:

    • Biodegradability
    • Disintegration
    • Compost quality

    Finally, there will be a presentation of examples of projects in which TECNALIA has taken part, with an overview of the current market trend.
