THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA
 • Biodegradable waste includes any
BIODEGRADABLE organic matter in waste which can be
WASTE broken down into carbon dioxide, water,
methane or simple organic molecules by
micro-organisms and other living things
using composting, aerobic digestion,
anaerobic digestion or similar processes.
In waste management, it also includes
some inorganic materials which can be
decomposed by bacteria. Such materials
include gypsum and its products such as
plasterboard and other simple organic
sulfates which can be decomposed to
yield hydrogen sulfide in anaerobic land-
fill conditions.[1] [2]
• In domestic waste collection, the scope of
biodegradable waste may be narrowed to
include only those degradable wastes
capable of being handled in the local
waste handling facilities.[
NON BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
• Trash falls into one of two categories:
either biodegradable or non-
biodegradable. While
Biodegradable waste will eventually
break down and become part of the
earth and soil, like food scraps and
paper. Non-biodegradable
waste will NOTbreak down or at least
NOT break down for many years.
Examples of Non-biodegradable are
plastics, metal and glass. Dangerous
chemicals and toxins are also non-
biodegradable, as are plastic grocery
bags, plastic water bottles and other
similar materials.
• Non-biodegradable trash has been a
growing concern to environmentalists,
but now is becoming a concern to anyone
wanting to embrace a more eco-friendly
lifestyle; as world population grows so
does our waste. It’s becomIng
increasingly important to understand
what non-biodegradable waste is, as
well as the effects that it has in on our
planet.
