Darius Saczuk (asker) Feb 2, 2019:
Thank you, gentlemen, for your invaluable help.
PanPeter Feb 1, 2019:
Frank, I would never let it happen unless your ongoing decomposting will result in even more your sense of humour.
These are more than points, PanPeter - these are are points by popular demand by your own colleagues, no less. I feel myself decomposting as I await your response.

See the problem?
PanPeter Feb 1, 2019:
Frank, please enter the answer, I am not hungry for those credits....
PanPeter Feb 1, 2019:
No doubt, that "degradable organic products" as suggested by my honourable friend Frank is the right answer, in particular that the source says "rozkładalne". If I were to translate that - compostable would be my first choice....
Darius Saczuk (asker) Jan 31, 2019:
Thank you, Gentlemen. PanPeter, please post your suggestion.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jan 24, 2019:
Grammatically, we have here degradable organic products, which appears safer and closer to the author's intentions, IMHO. Colleague PanPeter deserves the credit.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jan 24, 2019:
Composting is a very special process, requiring air, water, aeorbic bacteria, carbon, nitrogen, etc.

PanPeter Jan 23, 2019:
Biodegradable. ... An important role in biodegradation is played by microorganisms, which are present in the environment and fed mostly by organic waste. However, unlike compostable, the term biodegradable means very little as everything is biodegradable given time.
Pytanie czy nazwać to biodegradable, czy organic degradable products, czy z uwagi na to, że produkty są organiczne - to chyba compostable....
