Biological uses Chemical Enzymes to 'EAT' and Digest the dirt from Clothing!
Non-Bio Does not have these Enzymes!(People are sometimes allergic to Bio and therefore opt for the Non-Bio)
The Best Eco powder to use is One without Any Phosphates in it!
Phosphates damage reed beds and Other wet lands!

Biological contains enzymes which are live in their cleaning action. They are the best at cleaning but the worst for the environment. They are responsible for mutating fish.
Non- biological are chemical based cleaners and are harmful to the environment but not so much as biological.
If you want a clean conscience use cleaners with plant based derivatives that break down easily in water or use a lemon!

Biological powder uses oxygen to remove dirt. It is more abbrasive to your clothes and can irritate sensitive skin as surprise surprise, oxygen is an oxydising agent.
Non biological powder doesn't use oxygen to remove dirt and isn't as efficient at doing the job.

non bio has the chemicals/bleaching agents taken out so it is more friendly for the environment.
