Solution
Biodegradable waste includes kitchen wastes, discarded paper, human and animal excreta etc. These waste materials are buried in the soil i.e., in secured landfills for decomposition. As a result, soil quality decreases and it cannot be used for any other purposes.
The non−biodegradable wastes include plastic, polythene bags, biomedical wastes, chemicals etc. These wastes persist in land for long period and degrade the soil quality, thus causing pollution.
