Solution
- The waste which is degraded by microorganisms is called biodegradable waste.

- A biodegradable waste has the ability to breakdown safely and relatively quickly by biological means(microorganisms) into the raw materials of nature and release into the environment.
- Every resource made by nature, returns to nature.
- Plants and animals biodegrade, even raw crude oil will degrade when exposed to water, air and necessary salts.
- Therefore, any natural organic sources like plant based and animal based products have the ability to biodegrade.
