Common Questions About Biodegradable Adhesives
Many glues are made out of non-biodegradable materials and will not break down when disposed. Environmentally-friendly adhesives are glues that are biodegradable and compostable to a satisfactory degree under the right conditions. Some have also been tested to ensure they meet specific ASTM standards regarding their biodegradability and composability.
Biodegradable means something can eventually break down naturally over time. If something is compostable, it has undergone more testing and will break down in a given amount of time under the right conditions. Compostable adhesives will break down in industrial compost facilities at a faster rate than other biodegradable materials.
