(N/A) Biodegradable substances are materials that can be broken down into simpler substances by biological processes,such as the action of decomposers,bacteria,or saprophytes.
Example: Vegetable peels,fruit waste,or human excreta.
Non-biodegradable substances are materials that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by biological processes or decomposers.
Example: Plastic,glass,or metal cans.
Changes in habits to dispose of non-biodegradable waste:
$1$. Segregation of waste at the source by using separate dustbins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.
$2$. Adopting the $3R$ principle (Reduce,Reuse,and Recycle) by reusing items like plastic containers and recycling materials like glass and metal.
