methane or simple organic molecules by micro-organisms and other living things by composting, aerobic digestion,
anaerobic digestion or similar processes. In waste management, it also includes some inorganic materials which can
be decomposed by bacteria. Where as Non-Biodegradable wastes are those that cannot break down or degrade
for many years. These are waste that cannot change into manure and they pile up causing pollution. Burning of
these fuels causes more pollution in the environment. The non-biodegradable wastes become useful when they can
be recycled

Radioactive waste is a type of hazardous waste that contains radioactive material. Radioactive waste is usually a by-
product of nuclear power generation and other applications of nuclear fission or nuclear technology, such as research
and medicine
