Overview
A biodegradable material is a material that can be broken down into natural chemical constituents by biological agents. In summary, simple and innocuous chemical compounds that can be reintroduced in the natural milieu as nutrients. This process entails the material to be gradually fragmented into smaller pieces until no physical evidence of its existence is left:
• Reduction of carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.
• Reduction of energy requirements: no fossil fuels needed for recycling.
• Recyclable and non-toxic, does not contain chemicals nor toxins.
