Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Plastics are non-biodegradable in nature.
Non-biodegradable wastes cannot be decomposed or removed by natural processes. They endure on earth for a very long time without degrading. Hence, plastics are non-biodegradable because decomposers cannot break them down into basic components. Due to this nature, they take several years for their decomposition and cause environmental pollution. Our government has taken various actions against the usage of plastic bags.
