Biodegradable Products

Biodegradable products are materials that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms, without causing harm to the environment. In the circular economy, biodegradable products play an important role in reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

The Science of Biodegradation

Biodegradation is the process by which microorganisms break down complex organic molecules into simpler compounds. Biodegradable products are designed to be compatible with this process, so that they can be naturally decomposed without causing harm to the environment.
