The correct answer is Both I and II.

Key Points

  • The waste we generate is both biodegradable and non-biodegradable.


Biodegradable waste:

  • This type of waste can be broken down by natural processes like bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.
  • Examples of biodegradable waste include food waste, paper, and yard waste.
  •  When biodegradable waste is disposed of in landfills, it produces methane gas which is harmful to the environment.


Non-biodegradable waste:

  •  This type of waste cannot be broken down by natural processes and remains in the environment for a long time.
  • Examples of non-biodegradable waste include plastic, glass, and metal.
  •  When non-biodegradable waste is disposed of improperly, it can cause pollution and harm to wildlife.
