Cloth is biodegradable and is readily broken down if it is made from natural materials (cotton, linen, flax, silk). This makes it an environmentally friendly material.
Cloth made from plastics (polyester, nylon, etc) is not biodegradable, but, like plastic, takes hundreds of years to break down, and when it does, it is often just into tiny pieces of plastic the insects, animals and birds eat by mistake.
A cloth bag is an example of non-biodegradable waste.
gDiapers are cloth diapers and protective garments which use a biodegradable liner. This sets them apart from both traditional cloth diapers, which are unlined, and disposable diapers, in which the entirety is not typically biodegradable.
Paper is a hundred percent biodegradable. Plastic is not biodegradable. We should use easily biodegradable materials more often, such as paper, wood, cloth, and the like.
Biodegradable material is usually organic, like wool, cotton, linen, hemp and flax. These are all made into cloth, usually by weaving or knitting. They need some preparation first, like cleaning and separating the fibers into strands. Looms and spinning wheels were early inventions to produce cloth from natural fibers.
Many non-biodegradable items can be replaced with biodegradable alternatives. For instance, single-use plastic bags can be swapped for reusable cloth or biodegradable bags made from materials like cornstarch. Plastic straws can be replaced with paper, bamboo, or metal straws, while plastic utensils can be substituted with compostable options made from plant-based materials. Additionally, traditional plastic food containers can be replaced with biodegradable options made from materials like sugarcane or palm leaves.
Some example of BIO-DEGRADABLE THINGS: paper, juice, chicken bones, clothes... anything that can be broken down by organisms NON BIO-DEGRADABLE THINGS: plastic toys, plastic bags, glass, steel, synthetic rubber.
