English term or phrase: compostable
is "compostable" to be translated as "compostabile" or "biodegradabile".

Searching the web I see that we have both terms in english and in italian, but i am not sure of the specific meaning of them. I ask you this to decide if term term is better translated litterarly or for people who are not familiar with the word compostabile.... :|
