LAB TESTING SERVICES

We offer laboratory services for Biodegradability, Compostability and Ecotoxicity testing.

XAcument provides assistance throughout the entire process of product development: preliminary research, research and development all the way to the finished products and market introduction.

We typically recommend that the characteristic which may present the highest hurdle be tested first. Another possibility is to follow a step-by-step approach and to start with a first step in the complete testing strategy only.

It is in any case often very useful to discuss on beforehand in detail the nature and composition of the sample(s) and see whether testing can be optimized and/or reduced.  In this context, our work is covered by confidentiality agreements.

We also work with strictly independent laboratory partners and conform with ISO 17025.

Tests can be performed under different conditions: aerobic (compost, soil, fresh water, marine,…) or anaerobic (landfill, digestion,…).
