Scope

GB/T 40553-2021 is the English-translated version of 塑料 适合家庭堆肥塑料技术规范.

GB/T 40553-2021 sets out when a plastic material or product can be called suitable for home composting. It specifies requirements on chemical characteristics, biodegradability, disintegration and the effect of the biodegradation process on compost quality, together with the evaluation procedure and the corresponding test methods.

The methods referred to include aerobic biodegradation in aqueous medium and under controlled composting, disintegration in pilot and laboratory-scale composting, earthworm acute toxicity, thickness, density and ash measurement, infrared spectroscopy, atomic absorption and ICP-MS analysis, as well as ISO 20200 and EN 13432.

It applies to plastic materials and their products intended for household composting, and is used by producers and testing laboratories. It was issued on 20 August 2021 and has applied since 1 October 2021.
