Solution

The correct option is A True
  • A material which is not easily decomposed by natural processes is termed as non-biodegradable. Plastic is generally considered non-biodegradable as it cannot be degraded by bacteria.
  • Plastic bags and other plastic items, that we use in our daily lives, end up in landfills and are typically buried. Since they do not degrade, they pose a greater environmental threat than the biodegradable wastes.
