What are biodegradable plastics, and how do they differ from traditional plastics?
Biodegradable plastics are designed to break down more quickly under certain environmental conditions, such as exposure to sunlight, heat, or microorganisms. Unlike traditional plastics, which can persist for centuries, biodegradable plastics can decompose into natural substances like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass within months to years, reducing environmental impact.
