This is a property of products for their ability to break down naturally and decompose into simpler, non-toxic substances when disposed of, typically through microbial action. This process helps minimize environmental impact by reducing the accumulation of waste in landfills and oceans. For a fashion product, such properties might involve using biodegradable materials such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, or bioplastics derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Additionally, biodegradable dyes and finishes can ensure that all product components can degrade harmlessly over time, returning to the natural environment without leaving behind harmful residues.
