Compostable vs biodegradable, what is the difference?

  • Biodegradable: the material breaks down through micro organisms, without a fixed timeframe or clearly defined conditions, so it can take a long time.
  • Compostable: the material must break down within an agreed time and under specific conditions. In industrial composting, this is often within 12 weeks.
