\tS.NoBiodegradableNon-Biodegradable1Degradation process in Biodegradable waste is rapidDegradation process in Non-Biodegradable waste is slow2Biodegradable waste is decomposed and degraded by microbesNon-Biodegradable waste cannot be decomposed by microbes3Biodegradable waste are not accumulated but are used up in a short timeNon-Biodegradable waste often accumulate4Biodegradable waste become part of biogeochemical cycles and give back rapid turnoverMost of the Non-Biodegradable waste never enter into biogeochemical cycles, very slow and toxic5Biodegradable waste are used to produce energy manure, compost and biogasNon-Biodegradable waste can be separated and recycled but the process is very expensive\t

Biodegradable=are waste which are decomposed by microorganisms.Non-biodegradable=are waste which are not decomposed by microorganism
