Compostability

Compostability is a biodegradability attribute denoting the capacity of a material to undergo microbial decomposition under controlled composting conditions, yielding carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass at a rate consistent with established benchmarks, thereby distinguishing it from general biodegradability by its specific environmental and temporal requirements.
