Non-biodegradable waste 

Non-Biodegradable material is the substance that cannot be broken down by natural organisms and acts as a source of pollution. Non-biodegradable cannot be easily handled because they remain on earth for thousands of years without any degradation

Non-biodegradable waste 

The threat caused by non biodegradable material  is very critical, plastics have long-lasting effects, improved quality plastics are made and put to use for higher levels. They are more temperature resistant and more durable even after use. Other examples are cans, metals, and chemicals for agricultural and industrial purposes. They are mainly the main causes of air, water, and soil pollution and lead to diseases like cancer.

Non-biodegradable waste is a crisis and a threat to the environment.

See some of the hazardous issues that result due to generation of non-biodegradable wastes;

1. Clogging of drain.
2. Soil destruction.
3. Biomagnification of mercury, DDT and other chemicals in the body.
4. Air pollution.
5. Land pollution.
6. Water pollution.
7. Ecological imbalance.
8. Death of livestock and wild animal due to ingestion of plastics.
9. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides changes soil chemistry and affects aquatic life.
10. Decreases soil fertility.
