Why were biodegradable plastics not used for La Parisienne biodegradable detergent bottles?
A plastic is considered biodegradable if it decomposes by the action of microorganisms when in contact with oxygen in the air. However, sending biodegradable plastic bottles to landfill sites would not be very environmental, since the volume of waste is too great for the plastic to be in contact with the elements needed for it to decompose. For this reason, Lavo Inc. recommends reusing containers for various uses and recycling to promote a healthier environment.
