What the difference between biodegradable and biotransformation?

Biodegradable wastes decompose into soil. Kitchen food scraps Garden  waste Paper and egg shells Human and animal waste cardboard boxes. Non-biodegradable wastes take a long time or never to decompose. metal cans,bottles toxic chemicals plastic products metal scraps A: In general, differences are based on whether or not the action of "a biological agent" can cause the waste in question to be "degraded" to some acceptable level. A: Biodegradable means that natural processes can break down the material into their natural components. Whereas, non-biodegradable materials would not be affected by natural processes that would break the material down. Plastic usually is non-biodegradable, because their are very few natural processes that.could break the plastic down into smaller elements, whereas something like wood.   hope that helped
