The Rise of Biodegradable Plastics
Biodegradable plastics are crafted to decompose naturally, reducing the long-term waste burden on the planet. These plastics are typically made from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or cellulose. Unlike conventional plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down, biodegradable options can decompose within months under the right conditions. This rapid breakdown reduces landfill waste and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Companies are increasingly adopting these materials to meet consumer demand for eco-friendly products1.
