Standards published for determining biobased content

21 July 2015

Recently a number of standards has been published for determining biobased content. NEN-ISO 16620 consists of three parts. These three standards are applicable to plastic products and plastic materials, polymer resins, monomers or additives.
NEN-ISO 16620-1 specifies the general principles and the calculation methods which are based on the carbon mass or mass of each constituent present. NEN-ISO 16620-2 specifies a calculation method based on the 14C content measurement. NEN-ISO 16620-3 specifies the method of determining the amounts of biobased content in the biobased synthetic polymer based on mass (World Packaging Standardisation Newsletter, July 2015).
