how is anything inorganic , if everything we have is from the earth itself and is therefore natural?
part 2 of the same question is why are somethings then non biodegradable?
In: Chemistry
The term organic have multiple definitions. Plastic fits under some of these definitions but not all. In chemistry plastic is considered organic because it is made up of hydrogen carbon bonds. Although there are plastics which does not fit this definition either as it is made up of for example carbon and chlorine. But if you use the term organic in the food industry then it have a completely different meaning which would not include most plastics because most plastic is man made and is not found naturally in nature.
