On June 13, 2025, Normec OWS hosted an online seminar to introduce its new approach to high-throughput biodegradability testing, designed to support faster and more informed material development.
Normec OWS hosted an online seminar to introduce its new, high-throughput approach to biodegradability pre-screening tests, designed to support faster and more informed material development.
The innovative technique provides insight into biodegradability at an early stage, enabling companies to evaluate multiple formulations simultaneously. By quickly generating comparative data, the approach helps reduce R&D risks, optimize material selection, and prevent costly late-stage failures.
During the session, participants learned how early data can lead to smarter development decisions, particularly in light of increasing regulations and stricter requirements regarding sustainability claims. Identifying potential performance gaps early in the innovation process enables more efficient pathways toward certification and market readiness.
The webinar marked an important step in knowledge sharing and underscored Normec OWS’s commitment to supporting customers with scientifically grounded tools that accelerate sustainable product development.
Whether it’s monitoring, permitting, quality control, or complex environmental issues, together we provide reliable insights you can rely on with confidence.
Normec OWS’s high-throughput biodegradability screening platform has been featured in Sustainable Plastics, with a focus on its role in accelerating the development of sustainable materials.
Normec OWS successfully organized its first Seminar Day, bringing partners together for a day of knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Normec OWS has been recognized as a key innovator by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar for its contribution to the EU-funded research and innovation project PRESERVE.
Normec OWS is partnering with the FITI Testing & Research Institute to promote testing for biodegradability and compostability.
