Specific environments will break this product down to natural elements, leaving the soil toxin-free.
Composting is the process that a material undergoes when it breaks down back into soil or biomass within a given timeframe. Plastic polymers amongst other materials will compost in the ideal environment which consists of temperatures between 50-70°C with the right pressure and humidity.
The two types of composting available to consumers are 'home' and 'industrial'. Home composting involves a sealed unit that can create the ideal environment for the breaking down of such materials. In a domestic setting, this is normally using food waste, plants and worms.
Industrial composting is usually run by the council or governing body where the process is carried out at an industrial facility. These facilities create hotter and higher pressured environments than can be achieved with home composting. Both composting environments produce the same outcome which is an end product that adds non toxic nutrients back in to the soil.

Although it could be said that all materials are biodegradable, many of these products are petroleum based plastics which can take thousands of years to naturally break down. The term 'biodegradable' should biodegrade back in to naturally occuring minerals within a single generation.
The basis of compostability is when the soil is enriched by the composing of materials. Biodegradation and compostability have similar traits but are not the same because biodegradation does not enrich the soil but also does no harm to it.
If something is classed as biodegradable, then it is assumed that it will completely break down in to the environment and not just partly. Be cautious of terms like '99% biodegradable' and 'partial biodegradable' as these will leave behind materials that will not break down back into the ecosystem.
These products are free of plastics that are created from polymerized crude oil which can take thousands of years to break down.
Although plastic-free products are still produced while creating carbon emissions, the outcome of a product that can break down is a generous trade-off, for now. Technology and development are improving and hopefully, we will soon be in an age that doesn't rely so heavily on plastics.
A product that can be reused in the manufacturing process of materials that are the waste product.
Recycled products can be broken down and used as a new material, this is an important property as there are so many consumer products on the planet. It is a key factor in waste reduction as it promotes environmental sustainability by removing the input of raw materials into the ecosystem.
