Biodegradable

Real World Example

Imagine you have a pile of dirty laundry that needs to be cleaned. Just like you rely on your washing machine to break down dirt and stains on your clothes, biodegradable materials rely on living organisms to break them down into simpler substances. In this analogy, the washing machine acts like the living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that decompose biodegradable materials, turning them from complex forms into simpler, reusable elements, much like clean clothes ready to be worn again.
