What is Biodegradable?
A biodegradable product is one that is capable of being decomposed through the metabolism of microorganisms. What this essentially means for a biodegradable plastic; is that it’s eaten! This process leaves no trace of the product’s original existence – the carbon atoms within the plastic are broken apart as organic molecules are created. These molecules can be processed by, and create, organic living things, generating a natural and sustainable lifecycle.
What is compostable?
Compostable products are a subset of biodegradable products. This means, as well as biodegrading, they also meet certain criteria under controlled conditions. Commercially compostable products will biodegrade by 90% within 6 months. At 12 weeks 90% of the product should pass through 2mm x 2mm mesh. This stage of testing evidences the disintegration of the packaging product. Finally, the toxicity and quality of the finished compost must not be adversely affected by the ‘compostable’ subject. The first two points relate to degradation speed and the final is what enables the finished compost to safely support future growth of organic life. For packaging products, the European Standard that regulates the above-mentioned conditions is the EN 13432.
