What These Terms Really Mean
There are many product claims regarding biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable properties. Understanding these definitions helps you make informed decisions for your business.
Biodegradable
Products that break down naturally within 1 year or less, leaving nothing behind. The FTC states these materials should decompose in a reasonably short period after customary disposal.
Compostable
Materials that break down into natural elements in a compost environment, typically within 90 days, leaving no toxic residue and creating nutrient-rich soil.
Recyclable
Products that can be collected, processed, and manufactured into new products, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
Industry Standards
The American Chemistry Council found that most consumers expect biodegradable products to break down naturally within 1 year or less, leaving nothing behind. The FTC shares this view, stating materials should decompose "in a reasonably short period of time after customary disposal." ASTM (American Standards for Testing Materials) provides official definitions and testing standards for these properties.
