they dont break because they slowly convert to soil and get mixed up with soil.
That it will break down and decay if put in a landfill or left outside in the weather.
biodegradable.
By definition of "non-biodegradable": a long time.Exactly how long will depend on the specific material.
Biodegradable is generally the term given to materials that decay and break down over time. The purpose of biodegradable materials is so when we throw away stuff, it doesn't sit in a landfill for eternity. It's basically recycling, but more natural, and not forced.

Biodegradable
Biodgradable means something that can break down into useful organic material when left in a compost heap, for example.BIODEGRADABLEa carrota featherpaperleatherbonescottonwoodbanana peelspooNON-BIODEGRADABLEstyrofoamchips bagsplastic bottlesregular shopping bagsdetergentsmotor oilpaintvarnishchemical dyesNon biodegradable material means the material will not decay or dissolve away by natural forces such as the weather.
Something that is biodegradable is a material that can rot or break down with time through natural processes. Some biodegradable materials include food peels, leaves and dead animals.
A biodigester is a device which carries out biodigestion - a collection of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen.
Using biodegradable products, that is, materials that will break down easily in the soil, we are cutting down on pollution (from detergents and chemicals) and land fill stagnation (where landfills are full of plastics and material that will take hundreds of years to break down). == ==
so it doesnt break
Packaging and fibers are the top biodegradable polymers used in the world. These biodegradable polymers can break down and after lose their initial integrity.
