Why are some substances biodegradable and some are non- biodegradable???
Some substances are biodegradable and some are non bio-degradable. This is because of the specific action of the enzymes produced by bacteria or decomposers. The enzymes can break down natural substances into non poisonous simpler substances but cannot act on man-made substances like plastics.

Substances which are of organic origin are biodegradable, while those of inorganic origin are non-biodegradable. Organic substances can be utilised by decomposers as food, while other substances cannot be utilised by decomposers as food. Due to this, some substances are biodegradable while some others are non-biodegradable.

Its because,
Some of substances in our ecosystem are not capable of being convert into simpler form
by decomposers
The simpler form means inorganic substance
Like oxygen, Carbon di oxide, nitrogen, iron, sulphur, phosphorus?, etc....
For Ex: human body (organic substance)when burrowed in soil after death it will be decomposed/digested by bacteria and get converted into nitrogen, carbon, iron, sulphur and so on(inorganic substance) and elements which it was made of.
But some are not capable of being digested
By decomposers ex: plastic, chemicals.
* The organism which are converted(Digested)into simpler form is called bio degradable and which cannot be converted (Digested) into simpler form is called non biodegradable
So these are said to be biodegradable and non-bio degradable
