Biodegradable substances are those which decompose naturally in the environment naturally and are considered beneficial for the environment. The natural agents involved in the degradation are air, water, microorganisms, sunlight, soil, etc.

 Non-biodegradable substances are those wastes which do not decompose naturally in the environment, causes pollution and are also harmful to the living being.

Examples of biodegradable substances are dead plants and animals, their waste, fruits, vegetables, flower, paper, etc., while non-biodegradable substances include chemicals, paints, plastic, rubber, toxic, plastic, metals, etc.

The rate of decompositionof biodegradable substances is slow, which completes within few days or months, whereas the non-biodegradable items either do not decompose and maintain their originality or their decomposition is so slow that it may take thousands of years.
