We have completed internal testing, and have worked with academic bodies for external testing. We would like to complete external testing with an internationally recognized organization to ensure the highest level of validation of safety & standards. The project includes chemical characterization, biodegradation, disintegration, and ecotoxicity testing to meet global compostability standards.
