MYTH: All bioplastics are green 🌱
REALITY: Some don’t biodegrade at all.

Without testing, sustainability claims can be misleading.

Impact-Bio™ is our comprehensive biodegradability testing service, helping clarify real material behaviour.

[Impact Solutions @ImpactSol]

Bioplastics aren’t automatically biodegradable.

Some require specific conditions to break down, while others behave like conventional plastics.

Impact-Bio™ is our comprehensive biodegradability testing service, providing clarity on real material behaviour.
