RE:RE:Plan to move towards vertical integration
If the packaging on a product reads biodegradable, it basically means that it will eventually break down if that product were to end up in a landfill; however, it would emit greenhouse gases while doing so.
This essentially means that the biodegradable tag is little more than perfunctory because the key thing to understand is how long it takes a product to biodegrade. If you’re looking for environmentally-friendly products, look for those that biodegrade in less time.
And unfortunately, some brands will use the phrase "biodegradable" on their packaging as a marketing term, even if the product is not actually biodegradable — so always do your research to make sure you're not being greenwashed.
