Ever wondered if you should buy that product made from bioplastics rather than the conventional kind you see in supermarkets? Let’s define first what bioplastics are.

Using biodegradable products for your ice cream shop or gelateria can reduce a lot of toxic production and plastic pollution. It will eventually help save the environment from contamination and if all businesses use biodegradable products, plastic wastes will be minimized.

To start off, we should probably define what “biodegradable” means. It is the ability of a product to be broken down by microbes and other biological factors. These factors usually include moisture and air. A product is considered biodegradable if it can be broken down into organic matter at a rate similar to that of materials that occur naturally. For example, textiles and paper are biodegradable products, while petroleum-based plastics are not.
