Biodegradable matter is generally organic material such as plant and animal matter and other substances originating from living organisms, or artificial materials that are similar enough to plant and animal matter to be put to use by microorganisms. Some biodegradable matter examples are: wood, leaves, cotton, straw, corn, plants, animals, ect.
leaves
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
Many plastics; some metals especially gold and stainless steel; glass and earthenware;asbestos.
Some materials that contain polypropylene are not biodegradable because the proper enzymes are missing from the environment. However, there are plenty biodegradable materials with this same component.
Biodegradable materials are substances can be consumed by microorganisms (can be decomposed). Food waste, paper, linens, and wood are all examples. On the other hand, most things like metal, ceramics, and plastic are not readily biodegradable.
None are both, but all are some?

The biodegradable bag quickly broke down when exposed to sunlight and moisture. This biodegradable packaging is made from plant-based materials that will easily decompose in a compost bin. It's important to choose biodegradable products to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability.
Non-biodegradable materials are those that cant be broken down within a reasonable time span. Some examples include plastics, batteries, glass, computers and cellphones. New research now shows that some plastics do break down.

Some examples of non-biodegradable substances include plastic, polystyrene foam (Styrofoam), glass, and certain metals. These materials do not break down easily in the environment and can persist for long periods of time, causing harm to wildlife and ecosystems.
