| Researchers have produced a special range of plastic that produces a high quality finish but also easily biodegrades in compost. |
| In our climate, organic waste biodegrades rapidly, which widens our options for dealing with it. |
| Petroleum, for example, biodegrades easily in its original form, but not after it has been turned into plastic. |
| But once the container hits the backyard compost pile or municipal landfill, it biodegrades in only a few weeks. |
| The gel can absorb up to 600 times its weight in water and rapidly biodegrades. |
| Biodiesel is sulfur free, non-flammable and biodegrades faster than sugar. |
