What’s the difference between compostable and biodegradable?Updated 2 years ago

The term biodegradable can be confusing as it’s used to describe a wide range of processes.

We’ve done the legwork, so you don’t have to do the guesswork. To be considered as biodegradable by us, an item must:

• Leave no toxic residues or traces of plastic behind.

• Be capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms and thereby avoiding pollution.
• Break down into organic matter anywhere microorganisms are present, including on land and in the water.
