Biodegradable products are an excellent solution to help preserve the environment and thus be able to adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle for the new year ahead.
2020 is still marked by a pandemic, which forced us to stop. This time of confinement at home showed the reverse side of the coin: how much Nature can rehabilitate itself without interference from humans. Rivers have never been so clean and animals have never been so free. That's why we have to think about how we can change our behavior in order to protect the future of the Planet.
And consuming more biodegradable products is just one more way to achieve this. But what does the term biodegradable mean in the end?
By biodegradable we mean everything that degrades or decomposes naturally and through the action of microorganisms such as algae, fungi or bacteria, causing a low or non-existent environmental impact. It is true that the process can be fast or time-consuming, but fortunately, there are more and more completely natural alternatives, without chemicals in the composition and that decompose quickly.
Another point to be considered in biodegradable products concerns the raw material, which must be, in large part, plant residues from sugarcane, soy and rice.
Know the difference between a biodegradable product and a non-biodegradable product
The main difference between these types of products lies in their composition. In this sense, non-biodegradable products are generally made from petroleum. This feature causes the release of toxic products into the environment at all stages of the process, from manufacture to decomposition.
This is when the decomposition is done correctly, because there are still, unfortunately, many cases of incorrect disposal, causing various products to reach rivers and oceans, as we know so well that happens.
A well-known example of a non-biodegradable product is plastic, the villain of modern times and whose use has been limited by governments in all corners of the world.
