biodegradable packaging

Biodegradable packaging is designed to break down naturally by the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into natural elements like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Unlike traditional plastic that can take hundreds of years to decompose, biodegradable materials decompose more quickly, often within months, reducing environmental impact. They are typically made from natural substances like plant fibers, cornstarch, or other renewable resources. While biodegradable packaging is eco-friendly, its benefits depend on proper disposal conditions, such as composting facilities, to ensure it decomposes efficiently.
