Biodegradable

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. These products can

be solids

biodegrading into the soil (which

we also refer to as compostable), or liquids

biodegrading into water.

Biodegradable plastic is intended to break up when exposed to

microorganisms (a

natural ingredient such

as cornstarch or vegetable oil is added to achieve this

result).

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
