What's the different between Biodegradable and Compostable?

What means compostable?
While the terms "compostable" and "biodegradable" are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different properties.

"Biodegradable" means that a product can decompose into natural elements within the environment without causing harm, over a period that may range from months to years. 

On the other hand, "compostable" indicates that a product can decompose into natural materials within approximately 90 days.

"Biodegradable" means that a product can break down into natural materials in the environment, such as soil, water, or air, through the action of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, without causing harm.

This breakdown process can take several months to a few years, depending on the type of material and environmental conditions.

In contrast, "compostable" products are specifically designed to break down into natural materials within approximately 90 days under specific conditions, typically in an industrial composting facility.

To be labeled "compostable", products usually need to meet certain standards, such as AS5810 or EN13432, which define how the product behaves during the composting process, ensuring rapid and efficient decomposition.

All the products we produce meet the compostable standards. Come and discover the compostable products that are suitable for your use.
