Biodegradable waste is waste that can break down into natural components and be recycled into the life cycle naturally...examples are old vegtables / food, paper, cardboard, deceased animals, and phyto plastics( special plastics that break down when exposed to the sun after some time) etc.
Non biodegradable waste is waste that does not break down into natural components and exists in the environment for a long time. Examples would be tyres, plastics, elctronic components, metals etc.

Everything which nature can recycle on its own is biodegradable waste and things which it cannot is non biodegradable. Plastic is one of the most harmful non biodegradable waste and should be used least possible and any thing made of natural material is normally biodegradable. All biodegradable waste are recycled and reused in some form or another which is not same with non biodegradable once and so they are very harmful for us our mother earth and our coming generation.

Biodegradable waste is a type of waste which comprises of waste streams that are available for biodegradation. These wastes typically originate from plants, animals and other living organisms.
It can be commonly found in municipal solid waste (sometimes called biodegradable municipal waste [BMW]):
* Green waste
* Food waste
* Paper waste
* Biodegradable plastics
Other biodegradable wastes include:
* Human waste
* Manure
* Sewage
* Slaughterhouse waste
Biodegradable waste includes kitchen waste, garden waste, paper and the kind. Non-biodegradable waste includes glass, most types of plastics, wooden articles, rubber, batteries and the kind. Public have been asked to stop giving mixed garbage to the conservancy workers. Also, they have been advised not to give biodegradable garbage in plastic bags, as it will defeat the purpose.

Segregation of waste:
Waste can be segregated as :
1. Biodegradable and
2. Nonbiodegradable.
Biodegradable waste include organic waste, e.g. kitchen waste, vegetables, fruits, flowers, leaves from the garden, and paper.
Nonbiodegradable waste can be further segregated into:
a) Recyclable waste – plastics, paper, glass, metal, etc.
b) Toxic waste – old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish.
c) Soiled – hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other body fluids.
Toxic and soiled waste must be disposed of with utmost care.

Biodegradable waste decays and goes back into the soil, non biodegradable like plastic does not decay it stays in its form for millions years,

By biodegradable waste, we understand all those products that wil desintegrate with time alone, or with the help of scavenger bacteria and others, (animals that feed from debris) thar will rot the waste material, and convert it into basic products,, after the product has been utilized by bacteriae, as fold (substrate) ending in carbon dyoxide and water,,,,,,they degrade to those two products and hence the name Bio (life) degradable, because they are desintegrated or degraded, by bacteria or scavengers (animals like worms etc) Non bodegradable waste, is that waste that CAN NOT be attacked nor digested by live bacteriae, nor scavengers, and renains intact for hundreds or thousands of years ( such as complex polymers and plastics),,,and last longer in the environment, polluting the region where they were deposited (wasteland, burial sites for garbage etc)

The difference between biodegradable n non biodegradable waste is that:
Biodegradable r those which can be recycled.For ex: paper.
Non Biodegradable r those which can not be recycled.For ex:plastic.

biodegradable waste; waste looses it form and all the constituents dissociates by bacteria to non hazardous elements such as H2O, CO2 etc.. and they enter the cycle of life again (from chemical perspective)
non biodegradable wastes: wastes that is tough to dissociate like plastics which can be present in the environment for more than 50 years or more.
so, the biodegradable wastes are good for the environment.
