What are biodegradable plastics?

Biodegradable plastics are defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as "a degradable plastic in which the degradation results from the action of naturally-occurring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae"

Biodegradation is defined by the EPA as, "A process by which microbial organisms transform or alter (through metabolic or enzymatic action) the structure of chemicals introduced into the environment. "The biodegradation process breaks down everything from yard waste to crude oil. It is a natural process that keeps our planet clean and healthy. Unfortunately, the rate at which we are producing waste far outpaces the rate of natural biodegradation, leading to an unsustainable state. As landfills fill up at record rates, air, water and soil pollution is increasing.
