- ASTM D-6400
- Test: Determine Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Palo Alto, CA 94306 Materials Under Controlled Composting Conditions.
- Explanation: Sample Products shall be tested with thickest portion of the material and heavy metals is for both human and environmental concern. All our products met all the requirements to be considered "compostable" as tested by the United States Standard ASTM D 6400.
- Compostability Testing
- ASTM D-6866
- Test: Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content of Solid, Liquid, and Gaseous Samples Using Radiocarbon Analysis
- Explanation: The products are completely natural. There are no additives, plastics, waxes or glues in the products.
- ASTM D-6868 and ASTM D-6400
- ASTM D6868 certification has similar standards to ASTM D6400, but covers materials and products (including packaging) that incorporate a biodegradable plastic film or coating (either through lamination, extrusion or mixing). It ensures any entire product that is designed to be composted in municipal and industrial aerobic composting facilities will compost satisfactorily.
- Test: Biological Material Testing Speed and Ability to be Composted.
- Explanation: The above testing will prove the Areca leaf product is completely biodegradable and Compostable in nature. The standard for this test is 60% in 90 days. Areca leaf products will be composted 150 % above the standard in 2/3 the time.
