On the other hand, two out of ten people think that all words mean the same thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, there is a lot of confusion about the definition of each term and, therefore, it is confusing what is the outstanding characteristic of the products that use them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Community food regulations, which are in full force, state that the words ecological, organic, biological and sustainable are synonymous. What a mistake!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are considered synonymous for the characteristics that they contain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p

take advantage of natural resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help stop the confusion, in this article we will explain what the differences are between each of

Sugar companies discarded it when they finished their main product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the innovation of the current industry, the properties of this waste were analyzed and it was concluded that it could be <strong>used for the manufacture of products for the food sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how <strong>one of the strongest options to the use of plastic <\/strong>was born<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Products made from sugar cane are strong and durable<\/strong>, and can be used in both the conventional and microwave ovens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit our online store and find out about the ideal option to deepen your intention to reduce your ecological footprint, with products that are <strong>100% functional, resistant and highly versatile in their use<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many products that have in their packaging or are considered: ecological, sustainable, biological or organic.
