In Association with
Understanding biodegradability - The science, the misuse and true value proposition
3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Biopolymers & Bioplastics
Ramani Narayan
Michigan State University, USA
Keynote: J Bioremed Biodeg
Abstract
Design for product biodegradability in conjunction with controlled, managed disposal systems like composting or anaerobic digestion can offer an environmentally responsible end-of-life value proposition. However, much confusion, misuse and misleading claims abound in the market place. This lecture will discuss the science and issues surrounding biodegradability â?? what does the claim â??biodegradableâ? mean? What value does biodegradability as an end-of-life solution offer? Should an unqualified claim of â??biodegradableâ? without any reference to time element, rate and disposal environment be permitted? Are such statements truthful or misleading? Is â??marine biodegradabilityâ? a solution or exacerbate the problem of plastics waste in the ocean. We will discuss these issues on a science basis and review the International Standards and regulations in this space as well as learn accurate reporting and communication of â??biodegradableâ? value attribute.Biography
