Work Item: ASTM WK35342 - New Specification for Home Composting of Biodegradable Plastics


Developed by Subcommittee: D20.96 | Committee D20 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Scope

Home composting cannot be directly related to existing ASTM standards for degradable plastics because the anticipated temperature profile is likely to be different. The standard is to be used for post-consumer disposal of plastic components without a collection infrastructure. At present, no such standard exists.
