Biodigradable and non biodegradable wastes
Biodegradable waste is any product that can be easily broken down naturally by water, oxygen, the sun's rays, radiation, or microorganisms.

Non-biodegradable waste, which cannot be decomposed by biological processes is called non-biodegradable waste.

Plastic, paper, old cloth etc. Non-recyclable: waste which do not have economic value of recovery. e.g. Carbon paper, thermo coal, tetra packs etc...
