How long do biodegradable phone cases last?
we all know that a plastic raw material phone case could take upwards of 450 years to decompose, for the biodegradable phone cases, the decomposable time is approximately 3 months to 3 years. you will be confused why could be so different?
Because the biodegradable phone cases require the proper temperature, humidity, light and composting environment to complete the degradation, it is can not complete the degradation if it is exposed to the environment with other plastic products.
So if they in a perfect composting environment, they could be decompose in a few months, But if they lack, for example, the proper humidity, they may need a few years to complete the degradation.
So make sure they can be burying and composting instead of just throwing it away.
