Question

2 advantages of biodegradable and nonbiodegradable​

Answer 1

Hey mate!!

Here's the answer

Few major advantages of biodegradable materials:

(a) Compostability

Composting biodegradable plastics along with traditional biodegradable paper products and yard, food and agricultural wastes can turn this trash into rich humic material, which can improve water and nutrient retention and help grow healthier plants with less need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

(b) Less Pollution

Manufacturing biodegradable consumer products produces far less pollution. Because the products can break back down into nontoxic components, they don't cause dangerous chemical leachate that can poison water or offgassing that can pollute the air. Biodegradable plastic consumer products produce 68 percent less greenhouse gasses than petroleum-based plastic products.

(c) Fuel Efficiency

The manufacturing of polylactic acid biodegradable plastic consumer products saves oil. Biodegradable plastic production processes take 65 percent less energy than required to produce petroleum-based plastics. Biodegradable products are made from renewable resources like corn, sugar cane and potato starch instead of oil: 200,000 barrels of oil a day are presently used in the United States alone in the manufacture of plastic packaging, and significant portions of this use could be eliminated by employing biodegradable plastic products.

Hope this helps you
