Biodegradable

Biodegradable represents an approach "from cradle to grave". This means that the entire lifecycle of a product is viewed. Beginning with the composition of the raw materials, continued with the production, distribution and consumption stages and ending with disposal after use.

The requirements for the granting of the EU eco-labels are based on the effects on air, water, earth and health throughout the lifecycle of a product from raw material extraction and energy production, distribution, use and finally the end of life (recycling, composting, etc.).
