Simply put, something is “biodegradable” if it can be disintegrated by bacteria, fungi, algae or some other biological process.
If you look at the word itself, the meaning is right there. “Bio” meaning “life,” “degrade” meaning to break down, and “able” of course meaning that it can happen.
Biodegradation is basically just the process of nature taking its course and breaking down materials to their component parts
Anything that is plant-based, animal-based or natural mineral-based product is usually biodegradable
These substances degrade without leaving any harmful toxins behind.
Biodegradables (including compostables) CANNOT break down safely without oxygen, the right amount of light, and bacteria.

Now more than ever, we must be mindful of our environment — especially the air we breathe.
