In fact, the prefix &#8220;bio&#8221; is closely related to the plant or animal origin of a material. <strong>A material is said to be &#8220;biosourced&#8221; when it comes from biological raw materials<\/strong>, i.e. <em>plant<\/em> or <em>animal-based<\/em>. Unlike non-biosourced plastic materials, which are made from fossil energy, such as oil, biosourced materials are renewable.<\/p><p><strong>Biosourced materials are very diverse<\/strong> and can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from food packaging to automotive parts. Among the most common examples of biosourced materials are corn starch, cellulose, sugarcane, wood, and agricultural waste.<\/p><p>It is important to note that non-biosourced plastic materials pose many environmental problems, such as ocean pollution, greenhouse gas emissions during production, and their non-degradability. In contrast, biosourced materials offer a sustainable and renewable alternative to non-biosourced plastic materials.

Indeed, a biodegradable material can naturally decompose into simpler elements under the action of living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, etc. This allows for a considerable reduction in waste and minimizes their environmental impact.<\/p><p><strong>Biod\u00e9gradability is determined based on the duration of the decomposition process<\/strong>. Materials can be classified into three categories: <em>easily biodegradable materials<\/em> (such as kitchen and garden waste), <em>moderately biodegradable materials<\/em> (such as dead leaves), <em>and very slowly biodegradable materials<\/em> (such as plastics).<\/p><p>Then there is compostability. Compostable materials are materials that can be broken down into a stable, hygienic, and fertile compost by microorganisms in the presence of air and moisture.<\/p><p>Unlike biodegradation, which can occur in various environments, <a href=\"https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/en\/composting\/\">compostability<\/a> is a controlled process in industrial or domestic composting facilities.<\/p><p>It is important to note that <strong>not all biodegradable waste is compostable<\/strong>. Compostable waste includes organic waste such as <em>kitchen scraps<\/em> (peels, leftovers, etc.), <em>garden waste<\/em> (leaves, branches, etc.), and <em>green waste<\/em> that can be turned into compost. Non-compostable waste, on the other hand, must be disposed of by other means such as incineration or landfilling.<\/p><p>In summary, it is essential to understand the biodegradability and compostability of materials to make informed choices regarding sustainability and waste management. Biodegradation allows for waste reduction, while compostability offers the possibility of transforming organic waste into useful resources.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bea1506 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bea1506\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/11\/Fin-de-vie-Biodegradable-1024x512.png.avif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6605 lazyload\" alt=\"Plusieurs d\u00e9chet organique en d\u00e9composition, compost\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/11\/Fin-de-vie-Biodegradable-1024x512.png.avif 1024w, https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/11\/Fin-de-vie-Biodegradable-300x150.png.avif 300w, https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/11\/Fin-de-vie-Biodegradable-768x384.png.avif 768w, https:\/\/wasteless-group.com\/wp-content\/smush-avif\/2022\/11\/Fin-de-vie-Biodegradable.png.avif 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/512;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-24705d4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"24705d4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7201087\" data-id=\"7201087\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6430546 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6430546\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IV.
