Biodegradability is an important environmental parameter for assessing organic matter, describing its decomposition and mineralization by microorganisms in the environment. Agrochemical biodegradability testing addresses the deterioration of the environmental physical properties of agrochemical products and materials under specific environmental conditions. Testing of biodegradable products should be conducted according to a range of international standards, and the selection of the most appropriate test method to demonstrate the biodegradability of finished agricultural compounds is critical for material suppliers and manufacturers. BOC Sciences has decades of experience in conducting comprehensive agrochemical biodegradation research. Our studies assess the propensity of agricultural compounds to readily or inherently biodegrade based on standard ready biodegradability guidelines or higher-tiered inherent biodegradability guidelines. We regularly perform simulation studies in activated sludge, water, water/sediment or soil. Various inocula from local wastewater treatment facilities, rivers, lakes, oceans, fields and forests are studied. Our teams can help you develop an individual testing strategy and find the right testing method for your agricultural compound.

You can leave the corpse for all to see, and nobody calls the cops.” – Paul BrooksThis is a statement that takes our attention towards the need for us to do more towards the preservation and conservation of our environment and the world that surrounds us.
But, unfortunately, while we are all aware of the severe repercussions of mindless exploitation of natural resources, only some of us actually care to pursue a career in Environmental Studies.
If you are one of those, this article is for you.It is a dismal state to watch our mother Earth fall into this state of deterioration, and it is time we must do something about it.
You can pursue several careers to do your bit in saving the environment.# Sustainability ManagementAs a Sustainability Manager, you will be involved in designing a healthy and environment-friendly future.
You will recommend environmentally-friendly practices to the organisation without losing financial viability.For instance, you could recommend a recycling program, create an eco-friendly building proposal, recommend the use of energy-saving and efficient lights in the offices, or suggest ways to minimise waste.
# Wildlife ConservationAs a Wildlife Conservationist, you will work for preserving the ecosystems and implementation of biodiversity programs in wildlife habitats like oceans, rain forests, and grasslands.
According to a recent Fact.MR study, the dipentaerythritol market witnessed a volume sales of nearly 40 thousand tons in 2018, and is envisaged to record 2.8% Y-o-Y growth in 2019.
Aspects influencing growth of the dipentaerythritol market range from traditional use of this chemical byproduct in paints & coatings and explosives manufacturing, to the advent of innovative application areas such as therapeutics and marine coatings.
The study expected APEJ to hold a sizeable share of the overall dipentaerythritol volume sales, attributed in part to shifting production facilities from EU and North America to emerging economies of Asia.
This has resulted in intensified competition in line with narrowing profit margins among dipentaerythritol producers in the country.The study finds that chemical multinationals in China are tailoring their past practices along with adoption of novel strategies for ensuring long-term success, abreast tightening supply trends of dipentaerythritol.
The onus of dipentaerythritol market players in China is on self-sufficiency, securing international access to key raw materials, and creating national champions with greater access to western technologies and processes.
Such efforts of regional players are expected to retain the lead of APEJ in the dipentaerythritol market.Industrial Grade Dipentaerythritol Remains Sought-AfterDipentaerythritol variants usually come in two purity grades, namely, industrial and technical, as a consequence of difference in their requirements such as research laboratories and industries.
