Terms often used in combos to designate the properties of a given material to disappear without leaving a permanent trace in the ecosystem where it is disposed of, biodegradable and compostable are adjectives that travel in sync. But what does it mean for something to be biodegradable and how do you know if it is compostable? What are the differences between biodegradable and compostable<\/a><\/strong>? What about the biodegradable and compostable plastic<\/a><\/strong> Are they the same thing? What about wilden.herbals? Let’s go in order. <\/p>\n\n

Differences between biodegradable and compostable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

We call biodegradability<\/strong> the ability of organic substances and materials to be degraded into simpler substances through the enzymatic activity of microorganisms. That is, we are talking about an actual process that, once complete, will see the total transformation of the substance, called biodegradable, into simple inorganic molecules such as water, carbon dioxide and methane. On the other hand, when we say that something is compostable<\/strong>, we mean that-through aerobic biodegradation<\/strong>, which is nothing more than exposure to oxygen and, therefore, the open air-that something becomes compost<\/strong>, ready to be used as fertilizer<\/strong> and make your gardens a hanging Babylon. <\/p>\n\n

Biodegradable and compostable plastic<\/h2>\n\n

A great scourge of contemporary society, plastic is still the undisputed queen of trash. In this last period, compostable and biodegradable plastics<\/strong> are gaining in popularity. Be careful, however, not to confuse them; in fact, if we have learned that only food waste goes in the wet, the bag must be adequate, otherwise our work will be in vain. Always choose a compostable bag to throw your scraps <\/strong>in, and the biodegradable ones dispose of them in plastic. <\/p>\n\n

But what does wilden.herbals have to do with this? <\/p>\n

Wilden.herbals: biodegradable and compostable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The story of Wilden.herbals<\/strong> moves on several levels. On the one hand, there is the search for taste, quality and sustainability of raw materials; on the other hand, however, driving the research of this organic herbal tea brand, there is the whole desire to make a completely biodegradable product, and this is what Wilden.herbals looks like. <\/p>\n\n

The filter in each Wilden.herbals brew is fully compostable<\/strong>, T\u00dcV-certified<\/strong> in compliance with European regulations<\/strong>. This means it can be disposed of in regular<\/strong> household compost<\/strong>, leaving no trace. The pyramidal filter <\/strong>that surrounds the infusion comes from corn<\/strong> and has no synthetic additives<\/strong>, which can alter the taste of the infusion. <\/p>\n

Compostable filter, biodegradable wrapper and recyclable paper case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In contrast, the bag (over-wrap) that wraps the filter of each Wilden brew is made of biodegradable paper<\/strong>. How is it sealed? With cornstarch, which makes it completely biodegradable. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, the case that accompanies the herbal teas is made of 100 percent recyclable cardboard<\/strong>. It may seem like a given, but in an age of great change and revolution, in which it is nature that is clamoring for us to change course, there are still few companies that have the courage to explore the natural with obstinacy. This is because the search for green and sustainable production processes and materials requires time, commitment and patience in the face of a market that instead favors speed and constant consumption. In these strange times we are witnessing as extras, it is important to drive change, and we at Wilden.herbals<\/em> want to be ambassadors of a natural vision. Whatever difficulties we encounter, we will hold fast to this covenant of love and respect for nature. <\/p>\n\n
