By definition, biodegradable materials are those that degrade by 90% in less than six months into simpler substances through the action of biological agents such as bacteria, plants, animals, sunlight, and water. Eventually, they transform into nutrients for the soil, carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.
What differentiates traditional polyester from biodegradable polyester, for example, is its hydrophilic nature—its ability to attract water. This property facilitates the bonding of fibers with bacteria and fungi responsible for the decomposition process, enabling the transformation into biomass, CO₂, and water.
At Blueink Studio, we focus on biodegradable materials because we believe they are the ideal solution to reducing the growing environmental impact of the fashion industry.
