2 Materials that decompose through natural processes by fungi, bacteria, other living organisms, temperature, and sunlight www.science.jrank.org/pages/860/Biodegradable-Substances.html Includes wood, plant life, food refuse, wool, silk

3 ORIGINS AND END USES Materials are harvested Formed into starches with added poly lactic acids and bamboo Formed into plastic packaging, furniture, etc. Requires less energy to manufacture than conventional Can be composted or even recycled www.greengood.com/composting/composting.ht m

4 ORIGINS AND END USES Materials are harvested Organic/natural finishes and stains are used Most products can be recycled, as well as composted/biodegrade Substitute for wood- hemp and biodegradable plastic resin www.physorg.com/news156526288.html Other biodegradable materials-gypsum/drywall, straw/wool/hemp insulation, wool carpet, cork/bamboo/linoleum flooring www.ecoart.org/Programs/Green_Building/green_Materials/recyclable.htm
