Basic FAQ: What does biodegradable mean and how is it different than other types of degradation?
Biodegradability simply means that the product breaks down through the action of microorganisms. By harnessing a landfill’s ever-present microbes to decompose the midsole, we can ensure that the material breaks down into safe and useful byproducts. Conventional degradation pathways such as hydrolysis (water), sunlight (UV), and heat can leave behind toxic or dangerous byproducts that risk damage to the environment.
