In a nutshell, the term ‘Biodegradable’ refers to a product's ability to gradually degrade into elements found in nature. There is no set period of time in which a substance designated as biodegradable must degrade; instead, the biodegradation process and timeframe depend on the surrounding environmental variables (such as location or temperature). A product is said to be compostable if it can be used as soil in 180 days after it has decomposed in a commercial composting facility into elements found in nature. The key distinction between a product that can be certified compostable and one that is biodegradable is the timeframe. Not all plant-based plastics are biodegradable, and not all biodegradable plastics are compostable.

Due to its widespread availability, corn is currently the primary raw material used by Eco Bharat. In actuality, less than 1% of the world's corn supply is consumed each year by bioplastics. Compared to the 33% of food that is wasted annually, Plant-based plastics have very little of an effect on the food supply.

We genuinely care about your health! You surely will feel great about using Eco Bharat products. We never use BPA, phthalates, PFCs, phytoestrogens, etc. in any of our packaging or products.

Different materials are used to make products, and not all of them decompose in the same way. For instance, lignin, a substance that is present in wood, strengthens it. Also exceedingly difficult to biodegrade is lignin. Unless you want to spend money on truly eco-friendly solutions like those from Eco Bharat, you will need to be very careful about what you select to use for your packaging reasons as some materials present in both wood and other substances are created purposefully non-biodegradable. Eco Bharat is dedicated to producing only items that are completely compostable, ensuring that your decisions as a consumer or a business owner are always the best ones for the environment.
