What is Biodegradation?
Biodegradation is the natural process by which organic substances are broken down by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, or algae into simpler compounds, often resulting in water, carbon dioxide, and biomass.
Want to Know More
Biodegradation is a key mechanism in the recycling of nutrients within ecosystems and in reducing waste accumulation. Materials like food scraps, paper, and certain bioplastics can biodegrade, while synthetic plastics may take decades or longer. Factors affecting biodegradation include temperature, moisture, oxygen availability, and the chemical composition of the material. Understanding biodegradation helps guide waste management, composting, and environmentally responsible product design.
