What is the term for materials, such as plastic, that will not decompose?

The term for materials, such as plastic, that will not decompose is nonbiodegradable. Nonbiodegradable waste is waste which cannot be decomposed by biological process. Biodegradable waste on the other hand includes any organic matter in waste which can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules.

this is true my friend.
