Non-biodegradable materials are substances that do not break down naturally in the environment. These materials can persist for many years, leading to pollution and harm to ecosystems. Common examples include plastics, metals, and certain types of glass. Because they do not decompose, they can accumulate in landfills and oceans, posing risks to wildlife and human health. The use of non-biodegradable materials has increased significantly due to their durability and low cost. However, their long-lasting nature raises concerns about sustainability and environmental impact. Efforts are being made to reduce reliance on these materials through recycling and the development of biodegradable alternatives, such as bioplastics.
