Biodegradable

Biodegradable materials are substances capable of being broken down by biological processes, like bacteria and fungi, into simpler, non-toxic compounds. Unlike traditional plastics, which can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, biodegradable materials decompose relatively quickly, reducing their impact on ecosystems. They play a crucial role in sustainable waste management by offering an alternative to non-biodegradable materials. Biodegradability can vary depending on environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, and oxygen availability. The use of biodegradable products promotes environmental conservation and mitigates pollution.
