Example of Biodegradable Product:

This soak proof renewable and compostable sugarcane clamshell is manufactured with a plant based plastic. It is 100% renewable, extra durable and perfect for saucier food since it’s grease resistant.  A plant based product such as this has a composition time of 47-90 days. A similar product made of plastic may never decompose and if it does, may release methane and toxins into our environment over time.
