The process of biodegradation depends on the surrounding environmental conditions (e.g. location or temperature), on the material and on the application. Biobased/Non-Biodegradable: The term ‘biobased' means that the material or product is (partly) derived from biomass (plants). Biomass used for bioplastics stems from e.g. corn, sugarcane, or cellulose.
