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
