Non-biodegradable materials are things that can't be broken down easily by natural processes. For example, plastic shopping bags would take thousands of years to be degraded (broken down).
Some examples of non-biodegradable materials are:
plastic
polystyrene (styrofoam)
metals
foams
glasses
silicon-based materials/circuit boards
oil
ashes
door
metal
stone
diamonds
cup
plastic bags
plastic toys
steel
table
window
Some non-biodegradable items are, Styrofoam, freon, and some radioactive waste.
All plastics are non biodegradable except for bio-plastic.

A cloth bag is an example of non-biodegradable waste.
aluminium cans
By definition of "non-biodegradable": a long time.Exactly how long will depend on the specific material.
By definition of "non-biodegradable": a long time.Exactly how long will depend on the specific material.
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.
Some example of BIO-DEGRADABLE THINGS: paper, juice, chicken bones, clothes... anything that can be broken down by organisms NON BIO-DEGRADABLE THINGS: plastic toys, plastic bags, glass, steel, synthetic rubber.
Some examples of biodegradable and non-biodegradable is: Biodegradable : leaves, flowers, kitchen waste (wet) animal or human excretion, seedless fruit, handmade bags, dead animals or human beings wood, wires without coating. Non-biodegradable: plastic products, nylon products, synthetic products, silk products, clothes, dry kitchen waste, glass products.
A material is biodegradable if it can be broken down by the biological processes. Plants, as well as animal matter are examples of something that is biodegradable, because it can be broken down and absorbed back into the environment.

Plastic, glass, metal, and rubber rare just a few examples of non biodegradable things
Biodegradable can be broken down by the earth naturally, non- biodegradable can not.
We segregate our biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes so that all biodegradable can be used as fertilizers while the non biodegradable can be recycled to make different creative products.
