The primary advantage of biodegradable lubricants is their reduced environmental impact compared to traditional lubricants. Composed of natural, renewable resources, they break down into harmless by-products when released into the environment, which helps lower pollution and minimizes risks to wildlife and ecosystems. Furthermore, biodegradable lubricants offer safer disposal options; unlike conventional lubricants that require careful handling, they can be more easily and safely disposed of in soil or water without posing a threat to the environment.
