biodegradable packaging
Earth-friendly product wrapping
Biodegradable packaging is packaging material designed to break down naturally through biological processes—decomposed by bacteria, fungi, or other organisms rather than persisting indefinitely in landfills.
The term covers materials like plant fibers, cornstarch-based plastics, and paper alternatives to conventional plastic: The company switched to biodegradable packaging for its shipping materials.
Marketing claims about biodegradability vary widely in accuracy, since conditions for decomposition differ between industrial composting facilities and backyard compost piles.
