Is nylon non-biodegradable?

yes, it is non-biodegradable, like any non-organic plastic


Are ceramic tiles biodegradable?

No, they are not. Biodegradable things are organic, based on the chemicals of living things. Ceramic is inorganic, so there's nothing to attack. Ceramics are not unlike stone.


Is plaster non biodegradable?

Plaster is non bio digradable.


How can non biodegradable plastic become biodegradable?

Non-biodegradable plastics can be made biodegradable through a process called biodegradation, which involves the addition of specific additives or the use of biodegradable polymers. These additives, like pro-oxidants, help break down the plastic into smaller fragments more quickly when exposed to environmental factors like heat, light, and moisture. Alternatively, bioplastics made from natural materials, such as starch or polylactic acid (PLA), can be developed to replace traditional plastics, allowing for microbial action to decompose them in a shorter time frame. Implementing these solutions can reduce plastic pollution and enhance environmental sustainability.


Is tile a non porous surface?

It depends on what the tile is made of. Some stone tiles need to be treated and sealed to be non porous. Ceramic or porcelain tiles will be non porous. You can find out these things when you select a tile and ask how to care for it. Also, as a rule of thumb most tiles that are used for household purposes (esp. showers, bathrooms, kitchens, etc) will be treated to make them nonporous even if the material they're made of themselves are porous
