Independently tested. Scientifically verified.
Transparency and credibility are fundamental to the NovaPoly™ platform. Every material undergoes independent third-party testing using internationally recognised standards to validate its biodegradation performance under different environmental conditions.
Why independent testing matters.
At NovaPoly™, scientific validation is an essential part of product development.
Rather than relying on theoretical assumptions, every NovaPoly material is evaluated by independent laboratories using internationally recognised biodegradation standards.
This ensures that all performance claims are based on measurable data, transparent methodologies and continuous long-term testing.
Our testing programme is designed to provide customers, brands and manufacturers with reliable information they can trust.
Independent testing partner
All biodegradation studies are performed by Intertek, one of the world's leading independent testing and certification organisations.
Testing follows internationally recognised standards to evaluate material behaviour across multiple environmental conditions.
Every test is conducted independently and documented according to strict laboratory procedures.
Recognised global testing methodologies.
Anaerobic Biodegradation
Evaluates biodegradation under high-solids anaerobic landfill conditions where oxygen is absent and methanogenic microorganisms become active.
Marine Biodegradation
Measures biodegradation under aerobic marine conditions with microorganisms naturally present in seawater.
Sewage Sludge Biodegradation
Evaluates aerobic biodegradation within sewage sludge environments during wastewater treatment processes.
Biodegradability in Aqueous Media
Evaluates biodegradation in aqueous environments and assesses environmental safety indicators including particle size, COD and TSS.
Long-term studies. Continuous data.
NovaPoly materials continue to be evaluated through long-term biodegradation studies. Our testing programme includes multiple polymer systems, different environments and extended observation periods to provide reliable scientific data. Results are continuously updated as ongoing studies progress.
Current testing includes
Testing has demonstrated continuous biodegradation across multiple environments while confirming that the material performs as intended throughout its service life. Long-term studies remain active to further document biodegradation over extended periods.

Additional data will continue to be published as testing progresses.
Explore NovaPoly™ BIOBiodegradation alone is not enough.
NovaPoly also evaluates environmental safety throughout the testing process. Testing investigates:
- Formation of residues
- Microplastic behaviour
- Water quality indicators
- Chemical Oxygen Demand
- Suspended Solids
- Environmental compatibility
These additional analyses help ensure that biodegradation occurs responsibly and without unacceptable environmental impacts.
Scientific validation is an ongoing process.
NovaPoly continuously expands its testing programme to evaluate additional products, environments and long-term performance. As new data becomes available, results are incorporated into our documentation and made accessible through the NovaPoly platform. This commitment to transparency ensures that customers always have access to the latest verified information.
Data transparency
Every published result is linked to an official laboratory report. Customers can access:
- Technical Data Sheets
