Frequently Asked Questions 1) What is biodegradable product? What is it made from? A "biodegradable" product has the ability to break down safely, quickly by biological means, into the raw material of nature and disappear into the environment. These products can be solids biodegradable into the soil (which we refer to as compostable), or liquids biodegrading into water. Biodegradable plastic is intended to break up when exposed to microorganisms (a natural ingredient such as cornstarch or vegetable oil is added to achieve this result). The biodegradable material is an innovative production concept. Created from tapioca, up to 95%, mixed with some natural additive to combine start into polymer characteristic. 2) What suitable purpose can it be? It is suitable for daily or single used packaging such as lunch boxes, containers, cups, food trays, plates, bowls, cutlery. Dish washer usage is NOT recommended. 3) Is the material food graded?
