Compostable vs. biodegradable bags? 🌱

Can someone explain the difference between compostable and biodegradable bags? Which is better for the environment?

Compostable bags are designed to break down into nutrient-rich compost under specific conditions, benefiting soil health. Biodegradable bags, while they do break down over time, may leave behind microplastics or toxins. Compostable bags seem more environmentally friendly due to their beneficial end product.

Compostable bags are designed to break down into organic matter in specific composting conditions, offering a sustainable option for waste disposal. 🌱 Biodegradable bags can degrade over time through natural processes, but the timeframe and conditions for breakdown vary, so they may not always be as environmentally friendly as compostable alternatives. 🗑️
