The Royal Society Assess Pro-oxidant Additive Containing (PAC) Plastics

The PAS 9017:2020 standard designed to ensure that PAC plastic tested under a specific set of protocols would successfully biodegrade in the environment.

The report concludes that PAS 9017:2020 does not predict the real-world behaviour of the PAC plastics we tested in the open unmanaged environment in the temperate climate of the UK
