Without an oxygen source (anaerobic), biodegradable materials break down into carbon dioxide, water, and living organisms, but the timetable is not clear. Similarly, compostable materials can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass energy; However, compostable materials can also be broken down into inorganic compounds. The composting process is controlled by people, so this is more specific. In fact, composting is a process that accelerates biodegradation. In addition, the end product of the compost not only returns to its original state, but also produces beneficial microorganisms called humus. These organic materials can be used in gardens and farms to help grow healthier plants in the future. Because composting is a much more defined process and speeded up by human intervention, it is done in a short period of time. Biodegradation can occur over different time scales under different conditions, but it must occur naturally and without human intervention. Composting has a shorter life cycle because it is a more clearly defined process, and even for home and commercial composting, biocomposting has a different life cycle than home composting.
