Biodgradable means something that can break down into useful organic material when left in a compost heap, for example.
BIODEGRADABLE
NON-BIODEGRADABLE
Non biodegradable material means the material will not decay or dissolve away by natural forces such as the weather.
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.
i can show you biodegradable pictures
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.
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
They don't deteriorate with age
Some plastic is non-biodegradable, in the sense that it takes longer than several lifetimes for the plastic to disintegrate. A glass bottle is essentially non-biodegradable.
Biodegradable is like non-living things and is a type of metal and wood thats being thrown into the sea, while non-biodegradable is things that are stretchey such as elastic spring force that are examples are rubber band, spring, clay and many other more and hope you write this into your notes! :D Thanks for listening!
None are both, but all are some?
batteries
Plastic, glass, metal, and rubber rare just a few examples of non biodegradable things
biodegradable
Biodegradable can be broken down by the earth naturally, non- biodegradable can not.
