Tiivistelmä
This thesis investigates the disintegration of nonwoven textile materials in a compost environment, focusing on the efficacy and suitability of the SFS-EN ISO 20200:2015 standard for conducting such tests. The study follows the prescribed methodology outlined in the standard, aiming to evaluate its validity and provide insights into odour and visual appearance analysis.
The research concludes that the disintegration test, conducted in accordance with the SFS-EN ISO 20200:2015 standard, yields successful outcomes. However, while the standard offers a robust framework, there is a need for refinement to achieve more detailed results. The investigation highlights the importance of analyzing odour and visual appearance of synthetic waste, emphasizing their role in enriching waste management practices.
While the standard serves as a solid foundation for initial assessments, further enhancements are necessary to ensure precision and comprehensiveness in test outcomes. Recommendations include refining methods and materials and placing a greater emphasis on odour and visual appearance analysis. These enhancements are essential for meeting evolving research needs and elevating the efficacy of waste management practices.
