5.4Debby+Is soap biodegradable?

Soap is generally considered biodegradable as long as it breaks down at least 90% into water, carbon dioxide and biological material within six months of disposal.

The term "biodegradable" means that the product will be used by you and then when flushed down the sewer (or river) - aka the "biological" environment - it will slowly break down - aka degrade - without affecting what it reaches The environment comes after your home. Using non-biodegradable products means that the water you use to wash your clothes, dishes or body will carry an ingredient (SLS is a common ingredient) that takes years to biodegrade, or never Biodegrades, thereby affecting long-term the ecosystems through which it passes.

Therefore, professional practitioners will choose soap that does not have SLS, but SLS soap can have more foam, so this is also a balance point that needs to be studied, how to achieve more foam without SLS.
