If all the waste we generate is biodegradable, will this have no impact on the environment?
Biodegradable waste materials do not exist in nature for long. Some are affected by the environment but they get decomposed in a short time. The decomposed matter can be converted into manure which will be beneficial for the plants. However, it may still pollute the environment if they are not decomposed within a particular period of time or else the accumulation of the waste will lead again to pollution. It will become a breeding ground for flies causing the spread of diseases.
