Webinar: Exploring biodegradability between the Laboratory and the Digital World

Environmental challenges and accelerating regulatory requirements call for a detailed understanding of how substances behave in the environment. Their degradation, transformation and treatment in wastewater treatment plants are key issues for industry. However, anticipating the biodegradability of polymers remains a major and inescapable challenge.
Faced with these challenges, a hybrid approach combining experimentation and molecular simulation is proving to be a powerful and innovative solution. On the one hand, laboratory tests enable us to directly measure the actual degradation of polymers under verified and standardized conditions. On the other, numerical tools such as molecular simulations provide a submicron-scale view of degradation processes, enabling us to anticipate the mechanisms of substance transformation, and optimize test phases.

SCANAE and MS4ALL will present these two approaches in an original direct comparison format. The aim of this webinar will be to highlight the advantages and applications of their respective technologies for assessing polymer biodegradability. Together, they will reveal how the experimental approach and molecular simulations complement each other to optimize the assessment of the fate of substances in the environment.
Polymer manufacturers, eco-design and regulatory players, R&D in chemistry and the environment: don't miss this opportunity to explore these two technologies to meet the challenges of eco-design and polymer fate!
