Ensure the Sustainability of Your Products

We recognize the growing demand for sustainable materials in the apparel and footwear industries. Our Biobased Materials Verification Services are designed to help you validate the renewable content of your products, ensuring they meet sustainability standards and consumer expectations.

Why Choose our Biobased Testing?

1. SGS/Beta Analytic biobased materials verification service :

We utilize advanced 14-Carbon isotope analysis to confirm the biobased content of your materials. This scientific approach confirms the renewable biological origin of materials by detecting the presence of 14-Carbon, a marker of recent atmospheric CO2 absorption. Fossil-based sources, being older than 20,000 to 30,000 years, contain no detectable 14-Carbon.

2. Comprehensive Solutions:

Our services include onsite assessments and thorough document reviews to enhance transparency and traceability in your sourcing practices.

3. Compliance with Standards:

We adhere to international testing standards such as ASTM-D6866, EN 16640, and ISO 16620-2, ensuring that your products meet the required biobased carbon content of ≥ 20%.

Benefits of Biobased Testing

• Sustainability Validation: Demonstrate your commitment to renewable resources and reduce reliance on fossil-based materials.
• Market Differentiation: Stand out in the market by promoting the biobased content of your products, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
• Enhanced Transparency: Improve the credibility of your sourcing practices through robust verification, fostering trust with your customers.

Service Expansion

At the end of 2024, we expanded our radiochemistry testing capabilities with the acquisition of Miami-based Beta Analytic, a global leader in 14-Carbon age dating and biobased/biogenic product validation. This acquisition increases our overall capacity for providing high-value testing solutions that address both current and future environmental challenges.
