Best Answer

Biodegradable waste is a type of waste which can rot and change into manure. Non-biodegradable waste is a type of waste which cannot rot and change into manure. Such waste piles up and causes pollution. There is no way of destroying it except for burning it, which further pollutes the atmosphere.
