Biodegradable or Compostable

Biodegradable OR Compostable – is there a difference?

Yes – Anything that is natural mineral, plant, animal or nature based is generally considered biodegradable (at different rates)

To be compostable a product must be capable of breaking down into natural elements that cause no harm to the environment and break down within approximately three months. It must leave no visible or toxic residue.
