GlossaryBiodegradability

ability of substances to be decomposed by natural organisms

Biodegradability refers to the ability of a substance to be broken down naturally by microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into simpler, non-toxic components like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. This process is crucial for reducing environmental pollution and ensuring that materials do not accumulate in ecosystems, making it a key consideration in the development of sustainable products.
