      Biodegradability describes a material\u2019s capacity to be broken down by microorganisms without causing harm to the environment<\/b>.. In plastics, it depends on both the material\u2019s origin (bio-based or not) and its end-of-life treatment (e.g. composting, biodegradation, or partial degradation).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      A plastic may be bio-based without being biodegradable \u2014 and vice versa. Hence the importance of standardized testing protocols. <\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
