Problem to solve

Bioplastics are preferable to fossil plastics because they degrade more easily. Bioplastics, derived from renewable sources such as plants or microalgae, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production.

Description

The service allows to quantify the bio concentration in bioplastics The analyses are carried out on samples of different types of plastics.
