Did you mean Biodegradable Polymers?

GlossaryBiodegradable Polymers

materials that decompose naturally by microorganisms into non-toxic substances

Biodegradable polymers are materials that can be broken down by natural processes, such as the action of microorganisms, into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. These polymers, often referred to as biodegradable plastics, are designed to reduce environmental impact by decomposing more quickly than traditional plastics, making them a sustainable alternative for various applications, including packaging, agriculture, and medical devices.
