Nothing.
Biodegradable can be broken down by the earth naturally, non- biodegradable can not.
Biodegradable means that something is capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. A paper wrapper for a sandwich is biodegradable, but a plastic box is not. Bury the plastic box, dig it up a year later, it is still there. The paper wrapper would have degraded to humus (soil).
Material that's nonliving (excluding dead organic matter) is non-biodegradable. Plastic, metal, styrofoam, and corrugated cardboard are non-biodegradable, while a dead tree, animal waste, and skin cells are biodegradable. A difference between biodegradable trash and non-biodegradable trash is that the biodegradable can be thrown out into a backyard and eventually turn into soil or something that other living things can reuse, while non-biodegradable trash can be recycled, as in reused for its original purposed, usually for humans.
The main difference between Ordinary Polythene & Biodegradable polythene is: * Ordinary polythene takes an around 100 + years to degrade... * Biodegradable/Degradable polythene degrades or biodegrades in around 5 yrs depending on how it's made and how its disposed. However, biodegradation starts in the presence of sunlight, moisture, mechanical stress and/or microorganisms...

When something is bio degradable it will break down in the environment with the assistance of bacteria or other organisms. Non bio degradable detergent will not break down naturally without chemical assistance.
The difference is that biodegradable means that items such as food waste, garden waste and certain plastics can be broken down by the actions of bacterium, fungi and other living organisms. They can be composted. Recycled means that they can be reused as they are once cleaned, processed or treated eg clothes, paper, card and glass.
All Plastics are the polymers but all the polymers are not the Plastics, why because there will be biodegradable polymers, biopolymer, rubber exist, which will be not in the plastic group
soapy are biodegradable and soap-less non biodegradable

Abs is not biodegradable.
