Biodegradables and non biodegradables materials By P rayank Agrawal 8 th A
Biodegradable waste is a type of waste , typically originating from plant or animal sources, which may also be degraded by other living organisms.
Biodegradable waste can be commonly found in municipal solid waste (sometimes called biodegradable municipal waste, or BMW) as green waste , food waste , paper waste, and biodegradable plastics . Other biodegradable wastes include human waste , manure , sewage , slaughterhouse waste . In the absence of oxygen much of this waste will decay to methane by anaerobic digestion .
Uses of biodegradable waste: Biodegradable waste can often be used for composting or must doubtless be a resource for heat, electricity and fuel in future as it is being achieved by the swiss Kompogas treatment for 20 years now. This produces additional Biogas and still delivers the compost for the soil . [ It is a fully developed system and produced 27 million Kwh of electricity and Biogas in 2009. The oldest of the companies own lorries has achieved 1.000.000 kilometes driven with biogas from household waste in the last 15 years .
Non biodegradables wastes:: Waste that cannot be broken down by other living organisms are called non-biodegradable. [1]
