Compostable vs Biodegradable: Which Pouch is Best for the Environment?
Hello!
Have you ever seen food packaging bags or pouches labeled as "biodegradable" or "compostable"? They are designed to help protect our planet, but they have some differences!
"Biodegradable pouches" can be naturally broken down by microorganisms or other living organisms in the environment, eventually transforming into natural elements like water, carbon dioxide, and soil. But there is no specific timeframe for decomposition. It may take a longer time to completely break down.
"Compostable pouches" are designed to break down into harmless soil within a specific timeframe. It not only breaks down with the help of microorganisms but can also be transformed into fertilizer in a special composting system, along with other organic waste.
It’s similar to when we put something in a "magic box" that turns it into fertilizer, then it's compostable. But if we put it in another "magic box" that just makes it disappear, but doesn't necessarily turn it into something useful, then it's biodegradable. So, compostable things are those that can turn into fertilizer, which is good for plants. Choosing "compostable" products can help reduce waste and provide nutrients to the soil, making it highly beneficial for environmental conservation!
