🌍 Understanding the Terms
Many people use “compostable” and “biodegradable” interchangeably, but they’re not the same — especially when it comes to sustainability.
♻️ Biodegradable
Biodegradable means a material will break down naturally over time, but:
- It can take months or years
- May leave behind toxins or microplastics
- Isn’t always suitable for home or industrial composting
🌿 Compostable
· Compostable materials decompose fully and safely into compost within a set time (usually under 180 days) and leave no harmful residue.
· ✅ At EcoTact, all our palm leaf plates, Kraft bowls, and containers are 100% compostable and made from natural, renewable materials.
