When exposed to sunlight and moisture, the new packaging biodegrades much faster than plastic.

Manufacturers are conducting tests to compare the biodegradabilities of their new compostable packaging materials.

After being buried in the garden, the paper cup biodegraded within a few months.

The experimental plastic is biodegrading in the compost pile, showing signs of microbial activity.

The city introduced separate bins for biodegradables to improve composting rates.

The company claims the new coffee cups biodegradably break down in industrial composting facilities within 90 days.

The biodegraded packaging left a faint earthy smell in the compost bin.

The biodegradation of plastic in landfills can take decades under anaerobic conditions.

Under controlled conditions, the paper fibers will biodegrade within several weeks.

Please dispose of the biodegradable in the compost bin, not the trash.
