PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biodegradable composition comprising 1,3-propanediol and a component.SOLUTION: A biodegradable composition comprises 1,3-propanediol having at least 1% bio-based carbon content and a component, where the 1,3-propanediol in the biodegradable composition is preferably biologically derived and the component is a biodegradable composition selected from the group consisting of acceptable carriers, active ingredients, water, aqueous solutions, surfactants, builders, pH adjustors, corrosion inhibitors, antifoaming agents, dyes and food components. The biologically-derived 1,3-propanediol does not contribute to artificial COemission into the atmosphere in biodegradation.
