ASTM D5511 testing shows 92.5% biodegradation in 616 days of Americo's Full Cycle® floor pad. The ASTM D5511 test is a method that evaluates the biodegradability of plastic in anaerobic, or oxygen-less, conditions. The actual rate of biodegradation of Americo's Full Cycle® floor pads, as well as the rate of all plastic materials in landfills, will be slower and will vary, dependent upon actual landfill conditions. **Landfills that have gas to energy collection systems are not widely available in certain areas of the United States.
