    Biodegradable waste is the waste that decomposes easily through the action of microorganisms and mixes with the soil. Biodegradable things come from both plants and animals e.g., vegetable and fruit peels, dairy products, meat, etc. Non-biodegradable waste is the waste that does not decompose or takes a long time to decompose e.g., plastic, metals, etc. Non-biodegradable objects can be hard or soft e.g., polythene bags are soft.
