At Normec OWS, we are excited to introduce a new educational series designed to simplify and explain the science behind biodegradability, compostability, disintegration, and ecotoxicity. This series underscores our commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting companies on their journey toward sustainability.
The first episode of the series explores the concept of biodegradation, explaining both aerobic and anaerobic processes, detailing how biodegradation is measured, and debunking common misconceptions. We aim to provide practical insights into these crucial topics so that companies can make informed, sustainable choices.
With this series, we aim to support our partners, stakeholders, and anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of environmental science and sustainability practices.
