Digital evaluation of the long-term tests

At an early stage of product development, it is important to understand if and how biodegradation
happens. BASF develops a range of certified biodegradable products which are used in
numerous applications including soil biodegradable agricultural mulch films, compostable
bags and home & personal care products. There are a number of methods which can be used
to measure the biodegradation of a material in different habitats.

The use of digital tools supports all work which is done in the labs, from app development and data structuring, to predictive modelling and automation. By having a direct data upload from biodegradation experiments to online applications, we can minimize data errors and quickly visualize the progress of biodegradation experiments.
