Detailed Solution

The degradation process in Non-Biodegradable waste is slow because it is not decomposed by microbes. So, it takes thousands of years to decompose completely. For example- plastic.
Non-Biodegradable waste is not used to produce energy, manure, compost and biogas because the decomposing action of biodegradable material produces these products.
Non-biodegradable waste can be recycled and reused. For example- plastic toys are moulded and reshaped to form new products.
Biodegradable waste is decomposed by microbes, and non-biodegradable waste is not decomposed by using microbes.
