Did you mean Biodegradable?

Glossary Biodegradable

substance decomposes naturally by microorganisms into non-toxic components

Biodegradable refers to a substance or material that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into simpler, non-toxic components over time. This process reduces environmental impact, as biodegradable materials decompose and integrate back into the ecosystem without leaving harmful residues.
