Compliance
BioFuture Additives meets international standards for safety, environmental performance, and regulatory compliance across all markets.
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) sets standards for biodegradable materials to ensure they decompose effectively in specific environments. BioFuture Additives adhere to key standards:
Standard test method for determining anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under high-solids anaerobic digestion conditions, relevant for landfill environments.
Standard test method for determining aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions, mimicking industrial composting environments.
Standard test method for determining aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in the marine environment, assessing how materials break down in ocean conditions.
Standard test method for determining aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in soil, reflecting the decomposition of materials when disposed of in soil.
Standard guide for conducting terrestrial plant toxicity tests, ensuring that materials do not harm plant life during decomposition.
BioFuture Additives is ISO-compliant, adhering to international standards for quality management systems and environmental management systems. This demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high quality and environmental sustainability in operations and products.
The RoHS Directive restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. BioFuture Additives bioconversion plastic additives comply with RoHS, ensuring they do not contain harmful substances that could impede their environmental safety.
Intertek's Green Leaf Mark certifies products that meet multiple international standards for environmental performance, including biodegradability. BioFuture Additives products carry this certification, recognised globally for their stringent environmental compliance.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) is an EU regulation designed to improve the protection of human health and the environment. BioFuture Additives meets REACH compliance, ensuring all substances used are registered and safe, minimising environmental and health impacts.
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) are chemicals that pose serious health or environmental risks. BioFuture Additives ensures its biodegradable plastic additives do not contain SVHCs, aligning with EU standards to protect consumers and the environment.
For products that come into contact with food, BioFuture Additives ensures its materials meet food safety regulations. Rigorous testing ensures that no harmful chemicals leach from the biodegradable plastic additives into food products.
BioFuture Additives adheres to strict guidelines for food contact materials, demonstrating that its biodegradable plastic additives do not alter food composition or pose health risks. This compliance is crucial for exporting products to various markets.
Compliance encourages legislative bodies to support and promote bioconversion materials, influencing favourable policy-making.
Brands using compliant materials can market themselves as environmentally responsible, enhancing brand image and customer loyalty.
Products are safe for consumers and the environment, providing assurance of no harmful chemicals or toxic residues.
Recognising the value of compliant additives encourages innovation in developing new sustainable solutions.
