Biodegradability

Along with the artist's renderings of badgers, each item is illustrated with easy to understand icons referencing water resistance, biodegradability (meaning you can go into a lake or ocean without harming the aquatic life), animal testing (none), and UVA rating. ❋ Marcia G. Yerman (2011)

NatureFlex NK was launched in 2008 and offers not only biodegradability and compostability, but also a moisture barrier approaching that of co-extruded OPP. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Kmart 2009 consent order: challenging biodegradability claims for paper plates. ❋ Rebecca Tushnet (2009)

Innovia, NatureFlex NM is the only metalized biodegradable film suitable for home composting because of its low metal content – less than 0.02% – which slows the film's degradation by a matter of days but does not interfere with its biodegradability in any other way. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Example: K-Mart and biodegradability claims for things like paper plates. ❋ Rebecca Tushnet (2009)

Keep in mind, too, that much consumer confusion surrounds the biodegradability and recyclability of bioplastics. ❋ Jacquelyn Ottman (2012)

Recover also includes recover nutrients for biodegradability, and energy from materials at total end-of-life. ❋ Unknown (2009)

According to scientific methods, the toxicity and biodegradability of a mixture must be tested on the mixture as a whole. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It is the only metallised biodegradable film suitable for home composting because the level of metal is so small - less than 0.02% - which slows the film's degradation by a matter of days but does not interfere with its biodegradability in any other way. ❋ Unknown (2008)

We can argue the benefits of biodegradability versus recycling. ❋ Unknown (2008)

People think that plastic bags have been around for ever - but I am just old enough to remember their introduction, and the worries at the time about their lack of biodegradability. ❋ Brian Clegg (2010)

It does not depend on the biodegradability or afterlife of a sculpture. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Last summer (2007) we challenged a Monsanto advertisement extolling the biodegradability of Roundup - a dog finding a bone sprayed with Roundup and saying it was not toxic. ❋ Unknown (2009)
