Why are some substances biodegradable and some non biodegradable?
Answers
Substances that are broken down by biological processes are said to be biodegradable. In our environment, many of the substances are broken easily by decomposers (bacteria and fungi) as they possess specific enzymes for such activity. However, there are other substances also which are not broken down in this manner and are known as non-biodegradable substances. Since these substances are not degraded by bacteria and fungi, so they persist for a long time. These non-biodegradable substances will be acted upon by physical processes like heat and pressure.

Some substance are biodegradable because they can be degraded by biological process in the environment
Whereas those substances which cannot be degraded by biological processes in nature is called non biodegradable substances
