Biodegradable materials are those that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, into harmless substances, often returning to the environment without causing pollution. In contrast, non-biodegradable materials do not decompose easily and can persist in the environment for long periods, contributing to pollution and environmental harm. Examples of biodegradable items include food scraps and paper, while plastics and metals are typical non-biodegradable materials.

What is nonbiodegradable waste?
Nonbiodegradable waste is basically "trash that doesn't decompose naturally". Meaning that bacteria will not break it down and turn it into topsoil.

What is bio-degradable and non-bio-degradable?
Biodegradable materials will rot, weather, or rust and 'return to nature'. Wood, paper, and even most metals are biodegradable to various degrees. Nonbiodegradable materials will not break down naturally. Most plastics and synthetic materials are nonbiodegradable.
Why is nonbiodegradable plastic became biodegradable plastic?
Scientists have developed biodegradable plastics by modifying the chemical composition of traditional nonbiodegradable plastics. These modifications allow the new plastics to break down more easily through natural processes, reducing their environmental impact.
Is a product made of polyester biodegradable or nonbiodegradable?
Everything is essentially biodegradable. Cotton with polyester blended in, or polyester alone will take longer to biodegrade than 100% cotton, for example.
Is aluminium foil nonbiodegradable?

Is PVC biodegradable or nonbiodegradable?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is nonbiodegradable. It is a synthetic plastic that can take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment, contributing to pollution and waste. While some methods exist to recycle PVC, its durability and resistance to natural degradation processes make it a persistent environmental concern.
How is biodegradable waste more useful than nonbiodegradable waste?
Biodegradable waste can break down naturally and be recycled back into the environment as nutrients, while nonbiodegradable waste can persist in the environment for long periods of time without decomposing, leading to pollution and harming ecosystems. Additionally, biodegradable waste can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil for agriculture, closing the loop in the ecosystem.
