They are natural polymers and can be decomposed easily by the bacteria but the synthetic polymers are not easily degraded by bacteria.

Explanation:

The materials such as paper and cardboard are made of plant material and has the ability to decompose easily in nature by the help of fungus and other bacterial species.

These substances needs very less time to decompose in soil and rate of decomposition is a bit slow when put in landfill.

The materials such as plastic and glass are synthetic polymers and has been designed according to the need of the people.

These are not decomposed as they are not natural polymers hence, takes longer time to decompose.
