Day 50 Biodegradable Experiment

Sorry for many days of delay in the experiment - we have had a busy couple months with closing one store, opening a new Cafe and having a baby girl. Due to the many excitements taking place, the experiment did not go as planned with taking photos everyday and having the proper composting elements, but when I did take these last photos at the 50 Day mark it did prove the process of biodegrading and non-biodegrading. Please view the pictures below:

Final pictures of the aquarium with the composting matter and cups.

After 50 Days in Composting Aquarium - NO Changes in the Styrofoam cup - No signs of Biodegrading.

After 50 Days in Composting Aquarium - the two pictures above of the common paper coffee shop cup had the outside paper decompose, but the petro-based wax coating was in full contact showing no signs of biodegrading.

After 50 Days in Composting Aquarium - the biodegradable hot cup was decomposed about 90% to a very little scrap of vegetable based wax coating. This proves that the vegetable based wax coating and paper cup will biodegrade and if given the proper conditions would 100% within the 50 days.
