Yes, it is. You cannot easily go back to the non-rotting stage because chemical changes have taken place. If it were a physical change (sugar dissolving in water) then you can go back by evaporating the water--the sugar will remain.

Garbage rotting is a chemical change. There is color change, gas produced, and heat produced. As well as the fact that you can not go back to the original.
