Biodegradable

The term biodegradable applies to a product made from organic matter that can decompose in a favourable environment (temperature, humidity, light, oxygen conditions, etc.) with a little help from microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or algae. A biodegradable product decomposes without any harmful effects on the environment. During this process, it emits water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or methane (CH4).
