What is the difference between "biodegradable" and "compostable"?
"Biodegradable" means a product will break down into natural elements. There are currently no industry standards of what makes a product "biodegradable". "Compostable" means the product will break down into natural elements within 90 days when treated in a commercial composting facility, as defined by European standard EN13432.
