Biodegradable - Refers to the materials or objects which can get easily decomposed in
nature by organisms like bacteria. They do not contaminate the natural environment by their
presence. It refers to a product breaking down into natural elements, carbon dioxide, and
water vapor by organisms like bacteria and fungi. Technically, just about everything is
biodegradable, although it will take hundreds of thousands of years for most things to
biodegrade.

2. Composting.

down by natural organisms and sense as a source of pollution. Non-biodegradable wastes
cannot be easily taken care of. Non-biodegradable wastes are those which cannot be
decomposed or degraded by natural agents. They remain on Earth for thousands of years
without any degradation or decomposition. Therefore, the threat covered by them is also
more dangerous.

burning. This treatment is often used in the production of electricity as it reduces the mass
of waste up to 96 percent. It is popular among smaller countries like Japan whose scarcity of
