Biodegradable Polymers

Biodegradable polymers are materials made from natural or synthetic sources that can break down over time through the action of microorganisms. Unlike traditional plastics, which can last for centuries in the environment, biodegradable polymers decompose into natural elements, reducing waste and pollution. They are used in various applications, such as packaging, agriculture, and medical devices, where environmental impact is a concern. By choosing biodegradable options, we can help lessen our reliance on petroleum-based products and promote a more sustainable future.
