Material Data Format & Properties

Material Specification

Common Material Properties Reference

Material Source Biodegradation Best Use Case
PLA Corn starch, sugarcane 6-12 months (composting) Food packaging, 3D printing
PHA Bacterial fermentation 3-6 months (all environments) Medical devices, marine applications
PBS Bio-based chemicals 6-12 months Mulch films, agricultural
Cellulose Wood pulp, cotton 2-5 months Films, coatings
Seaweed Marine algae 4-6 weeks Edible packaging, sachets
Mushroom Fungal mycelium 1-2 months Protective packaging, insulation

Bioplastic Analysis Algorithms

Biodegradability Score Calculator

Calculates a comprehensive biodegradability score based on material composition, degradation time, and environmental conditions.

PLA vs PHA Performance Comparison

PLA Tensile Strength
50-70
MPa
PHA Tensile Strength
20-40
MPa
PLA Degradation
180-360
days (industrial)
PHA Degradation
90-180
days (natural)

Key Differences:

  • PLA: Higher strength, better for rigid applications, requires industrial composting
  • PHA: More flexible, degrades in marine environments, lower production volume
  • Cost: PLA ~$1.50-2.50/kg, PHA ~$3.00-5.00/kg
  • Applications: PLA for packaging/utensils, PHA for medical/marine use

Eco-Material Certification Protocol

WIA-ENE-048 Certification Process

Certification Steps:

  1. Material Submission: Submit material composition and test data
  2. Lab Testing: Third-party biodegradability and safety testing
  3. Performance Verification: Mechanical and environmental testing
  4. Supply Chain Audit: Verify sustainable sourcing
  5. Certificate Issuance: Receive WIA-ENE-048 digital certificate
  6. Ongoing Monitoring: Annual recertification required

Testing Requirements by Material Type

Test Type Standard Pass Criteria Duration
Biodegradation ISO 14855 >90% degradation 180 days
Compostability ASTM D6400 Complete degradation 180 days
Marine Degradation ASTM D7081 >70% degradation 365 days
Ecotoxicity ISO 20200 No harmful effects 28 days
Heavy Metals EN 13432 <100 ppm total 7 days
