Biodegradable wastes are defined as any waste that can be broken down into organic compounds like carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules by microorganisms or any other living organisms by composting, aerobic digestion or any other process.

• Examples include green waste, food waste, paper waste, and biodegradable plastics. Other biodegradable wastes include human waste, manure, sewage, sewage sludge and slaughterhouse waste.

Non-biodegradable wastes are never broken by environmental factors naturally.

• Non-biodegradable things consist of plastics, polystyrene, metals, plastic and aluminium cans, toxic chemicals, paints, tyres, etc.
• Biodegradable compounds are broken down into simple organic compounds and on other hand non-biodegradable compounds are never broken down.

Answer 2

Answer:

Biodegradable substances are those that degrades or break down naturally. Non-biodegradable substances are those that do not degrade easily. These terms itself defines the ability of the substances which are degradable or not. Materials like plants, animals, their waste, paper, fruits, flowers, vegetables fall under biodegradable substances, on the other hand, rubber, plastic, chemicals, paint plastic falls under the category of the non-biodegradable items.

The environment in which we live is surrounded by these two things only, even the materials we use in day to day life can be biodegradable or non-biodegradable. It is usually seen that non-biodegradable substances are synthesized and does not occur naturally, hence their degradation is also not possible, but the biodegradable substances get easily decompose in nature through agents like water, soil, sunlight, microorganisms, etc. and directly or indirectly are profitable to the environment.

In the given content we will be focussing on the fundamental differences between the biodegradable and non-biodegradable substances with the brief description of them.
