Kaken Test Center (located in Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) began accepting orders for 'marine biodegradation tests' based on international standards ISO 18830 and ISO 23977-2 on April 24, 2026. Given that approximately 22% of global plastic waste is released into the environment through illegal dumping, open burning, or leakage, Kaken, as a Japan Bio-plastics Association (JBPA) certified testing laboratory, aims to contribute to the development of eco-friendly materials and the acquisition of the 'Marine Biodegradable Plastic' mark.
