Biodegradability...
is a material’s capacity to be converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) through
the action of micro-organisms, under the same process occurring in
natural waste.
Disintegratability namely fragmentation and invisibility in
the f inal compost absence of visual contamination
Absence of negative ef fects on the composting process
Almost complete absence of heavy metals and the absence of
negative ef fects on compost quality
Compostability
is the capacity of an organic material to be transformed into compost
through the composting process This process exploits the biodegradability
of the initial organic materials to transform them into a f inished
product called compost This allows for the waste to add back to the
planet rather than detract from it
