The BDT Lab aims to assists Thai bioplastics industry through R&D and product testing services to reach international standards and establish a world-class testing infrastructure in the targeted areas of agriculture, biomass and environment such as microplastics and biodegradable chemicals.

The products that pass the biodegradability testing of the BDT Lab would yield consumers’ confidence and be beneficial for marketing campaign.

Moreover, the BDT reports could be used to apply for certification and use of internationally recognized certification marks. These marks are important for consumers to receive transparent and correct information; they also give a guideline information to waste management operators.
