Background
The environmental conservation movement has increased in popularity in using bioplastics and plastics produced from bio-based raw materials that are biodegradable. Research and development efforts to ensure product quality and testing services by certified organizations thus become critical to production, domestic use and export. These endeavors foster sustainable development of the country’s bio-plastics industry and secure Thailand as a leader of ASEAN in the bio-plastics sector.

MTEC’s Biodegradation Testing Laboratory has received ISO 17025 accreditation from DIN CERTCO in Germany, covering broadest range of biodegradation testing scopes in Asia. The results of biodegradation testing for are well-accepted in Asia, Europe, Australia and the United States. Furthermore, the Lab also offers consultation and recommendations for production processes and assists in preparing essential documentation for direct submission to certified bodies, streamlining industry operations. In short, the Lab provides a comprehensive one-stop service.
