What is the difference between biodegradable and compostable? The terms biodegradable and compostable mean very similar things with one important difference. Both words refer to material of natural origin, which at the end of its "life" decomposes into water, carbon dioxide and organic matter. However, for the material to be compostable, it must decompose within a certain period of time, usually within 90 days. This is to ensure that the processing time of food waste and the bags in which it is contained are aligned. It is important that any bags that purport to be compostable are certified to EN13432 by an independent body.
Will compostable gloves break down in the environment? Discarding gloves of any kind in the marine or land environment is littering and should not be done. Compostable gloves break down only in the presence of moisture, air and microorganisms, i.e. in a controlled composting environment.
