Zeology tanned leather is compostable and biodegradable. Do you know the difference between the two? Here’s the answer: Biodegradation passes through 3 stages:

• Biodeterioration (e.g., black spots on bananas – surface breakdown)
• Biodisintegration (e.g., the banana becomes soft due to bacterial breakdown, material breaks into smaller pieces)
• Bioassimilation (e.g., the banana is broken into compost mass, taken into biomass – also called ultimate biodegradability).

Compostability is a specific case of a biodegradation process and mainly covers the first two stages of biodegradation. Do you want to know more about this topic? Download our Whitepaper about the Biodegradability and disintegration of leather: https://lnkd.in/dvGpmwZ
