Biodegradable products
Biodegradable products are materials that can break down naturally over time through the action of microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi. Unlike conventional plastics, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, biodegradable items typically decompose within a few months to a few years, returning to the earth without leaving harmful residues. Common examples include certain types of bags, utensils, and packaging made from natural materials such as plant starch or cellulose. Using biodegradable products helps reduce waste in landfills and minimizes environmental impact, supporting a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to consumption.
