What does biodegradable mean?
Biodegradable products are those composed of substances or materials that are degraded in the natural environment by the action of external agents, such as water, the sun or the action of living beings. They are made for example from cellulose (paper), jute fibre, sisal fibre, starch and other vegetable and animal fibres.
Some biodegradable products are also compostable, i.e. they can also be converted into compost, used as a fertiliser and as a substitute for fertilisers.
What are the advantages of biodegradable articles?
The degradation of conventional waste is very slow. For example, a chewing gum can take 5 years, a glass bottle 4,000 and a plastic bag about 150 years. Alternatives such as bags of biodegradable corn starch and polyester or cellulose paper, which is 100% virgin, are available.
The use of biodegradable materials reduces the impact of our actions and is a plus for many consumers, who appreciate the commitment of companies that use this type of articles.
