Biodegradable and Non-biodegradable material
A material which gets decomposed through natural processes (such as action of bacteria)are called as biodegradable material.
For Example : Plant waste, animal waste, paper, cotton, cloth, woollen cloth, jute, wood are all biodegradable material.
They rot away with time and hence do not cause pollution in the environment.
A material which does not get decomposed through natural processes (such as action of bacteria)are called as non- biodegradable material.
