Bio-based, organic, and bio-degradable materials

Bio-based materials vs. biodegradable materials

Bio-based materials are often biodegradable, but this is not always the case.

By definition, biodegradable materials are formed or organic compounds which can thus be broken down by living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or water molds, and reabsorbed by the natural environment.

Whether a material is biodegradable is determined by its chemical structure, not the origin
