WORLD BUZZ ' WORDS' Terminology Reference |
Biodegradable matter is generally organic material such as plant and animal matter and other substances originating from living organisms, or artificial materials that are similar enough to plant and animal matter to be put to use by microorganisms. A "biodegradable" product has the ability to break down safely and relatively quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment. Products can be made from solids biodegrading into the soil, we often refer to this as compost), or it can be from liquids biodegrading into water. Biodegradable plastic is intended to break up when exposed to microorganisms. Natural ingredients such as cornstarch or vegetable oils can be added to achieve the desired results. |
