Cover Story: Commercially available bio-based products are labelled as biodegradable, and, given the priorities in the waste management hierarchy, they should be collected with biowaste and biologically treated. For end-of-life scenarios, it is essential to provide as much information as possible to create a database on the biodegradability of these products and the timeframe for their biodegradation. To this end, a one-year mesophilic anaerobic degradation test of bio-based products was conducted. Despite their high content of organic matter, the bio-based materials produced only small amounts of biogas. The structure of the bio-based foils started to show damage, and individual cracks and fissures revealed that, after one year of the process, the foils were only in the initial phase of degradation. This information may be useful for assessing regulations for the management of bio-based materials. View this paper
