ISO standard: Declaration and determination biobased content

In the ISO 16620 series, the “biobased content” of biobased plastics refers to the amount of the biobased carbon content, the amount of the biobased synthetic polymer content or the amount of the biobased mass content only. Recently two standards in this series were published.
NEN-ISO 16620-4:2016 specifies a method of determining the biobased mass content in plastics products, based on the radiocarbon analysis and elemental analysis. NEN-ISO 16620-5:2017 specifies the requirements for the declarations and labels of the biobased carbon content, the biobased synthetic polymer content and the biobased mass content in plastic products (World Packaging Standardisation Newsletter, April 2017).
