What is a Biodegradable?

Ecological: Capable of decomposing under natural conditions. (Source: EPA)

Biodegradable matter is material that will biodegrade. For example, most plastic bags are not biodegradable, but paper bags are in a general sense. However, paper is usually not biodegradable according to the principal world standards because paper generally contains too many heavy metals to comply. (Source: Wikipedia)
