biodegradable plastic

Bio-plastics - what are they? Can they be composted – or should they be disposed of in the yellow bin? Can bioplastics rot in the forest? Bio-based and biodegradable plastics raise many questions that we would like to answer in this FAQ.

Certain types of products such as packaging, electrical devices and cars are made of plastic in whole or in part, and at some point become waste. In the interest of recovering these plastics, various regulations of producer responsibility have been enacted with the goal of ensuring that these materials are optimally recycled.
