Gallimore Healthcare has recently launched a new biodegradable line consisting of Sugarcane, Bioenzymatic and PLA products. They can degrade in the soil or other natural environment into carbon dioxide and water, causing no pollution or harm to the environment.

What is Biodegradable?

A biodegradable product has the ability to breakdown, safely and relatively quickly, by biological means into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment

These products can be solids biodegrading into the soil (which we also refer to as compostable) or liquids biodegrading into water

What is Compostable?

A product that is "compostable" is one which can be replaced into a composition of decaying biodegradable materials, and eventually turns into a nutrient-rich material. It is almost synonymous with "biodegradable," except that it is limited to solid materials and does not refer to liquids.

Composting occurs in nature everyday as fallen leaves and tree limbs biodegrade into the forest floor.

Food, leaves, grass clippings, garden wastes and tree trimmings (which amount to between 50 and 70 percent of waste in this country) can all go into the compost pile, where hungry micro-organisms eat the waste to produce carbon dioxide, water and humus. Te resulting compost is an excellent natural fertilizer proven by organic gardeners to restore soil fertility, control weeds, retain ground moisture, and reduce soil erosion

What is Sustainability?

Sustainability is about maintaining Or improving the health of the built, natural social and economic environment, without interfering with the ability of future generations to do the same.
