Dear Buick,

Many thanks for your mail. We can certainly help you with this, but please note that we cannot perform this analysis ourselves and are working closely together with another laboratory especially for this analysis.

As you probably know, there are several certification opportunities for biobased products worldwide: the OK Biobased logo from Vinçotte and the DIN-Geprüft Biobasiert logo from DIN-Certco (both in Europe), the USDA BioPreferred program (US), the BiomassPLA scheme (Japan),… Do you already have any idea which certificate your client would like to obtain?

In case your client is looking for certification in the US, we suggest to contact Beta Analytic. Please find their contact data below. They perform these analyses on a daily basis and are certainly able to help you further with this. You can contact Mr. Mauricio Larenas with our greetings:

However, if your client would like to seek certification with DIN-Certco (Europe), testing would need to go through us as we have applied for and are approved by DIN-Certco as a recognized laboaratory for this kind of testing (while Beta Analytic is not). Part of the testing will still be performed by Beta Analtyic, but results will be integrated in a report of OWS and we will take full responsibility. Furthermore, we will also make sure that further contact with the certification bureau runs smoothly and that the results are provided to them asap.

In annex I have attached a standard proposal for such a ¹⁴C analysis. The price per sample would be 686.5€. In case multiple samples would need to be tested in parallel, we can offer a 5% discount per sample, bringing the price for 3 samples to 686.5€ * 3 = 2,059.5€ - 5% = 1,956.5€. With regard to the required amount of sample, we would need only about 100g of each sample (film, pellet,…).

Please let us know in case you would like to proceed, after which we will send you a document for confirmation of order which would then need to be returned after signing. Testing can in any case be started immediately and results should then be available within 2-3 weeks.

In case of any additional question or comment, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Sam
