How is organic waste biodegradable while plastic is not?
Organic waste Organic waste is a major component of municipal solid waste. Most originates from household waste but commercial, institutional and industrial waste can also contain significant proportions of organic waste e.g. market waste. Organic waste is biodegradable and can be processed in the presence of oxygen by composting or in the absence of oxygen using anaerobic digestion. Both methods produce a soil conditioner, which when prepared correctly can also be used as a valuable source of nutrients in urban agriculture. Anaerobic digestion also produces methane gas an important source of bio-energ Organic waste Organic waste is a major component of municipal solid waste.

The organic waste is biodegradable while plastic is not?
The answer is largely within your question. Organic waste is organic (subject to decomposition by microorganisms), while plastics are not. It is important to note however that there exist now some organic plastics that are biodegradable (consider that Sun Chips bags are now made of biodegradable plastic).
Is plastic can consider a biodegradable waste?
no, plastic can never be considered a biodegradable waste because it cannot be made into simpler substances by the microorganisms
