Standards developed at ASTM are the work of over 30,000 ASTM members. These technical experts represent producers, users, consumers, government and academia from over 120 countries. Participation in ASTM International is open to all with a material interest, anywhere in the world.
The Biodegradable Products Institute worked with ASTM and its members to develop acceptable standards for biodegradable products that truly biodegrade and have no detrimental impact on composting, agriculture or soil.
