Waste can be disposed of in a natural way, which is recycling or desalination, and the process by which waste is decomposed is called biodegradation.
Decomposition means breaking and breaking down, and this is done by gathering bacteria, worms and insects on waste, feeding on it and transforming it into other forms.
The organic decomposition of substances occurs in the presence of oxygen and is called aerobic, and it may take place without oxygen and is called anaerobic.
The waste is analyzed and a biodegradable material is produced. This material is synthetic, and can resemble animal or plant material.
It can be said that waste is divided into two types in terms of danger, dangerous waste and benign waste, and each has a way of disposing of it.
Non-hazardous benign waste is the one whose presence does not lead to serious problems, and it can be disposed of in safe and non-hazardous ways.
As for dangerous waste, it is toxic waste consisting of radioactive or phosphorous compounds or phenol, which leads to many problems.
There are many ways to dispose of different waste, and one of these methods is burying waste in the ground, which is the common method in the world.
Where the waste is buried in the ground in an inexpensive way and is used following hundreds of years in the production of non-renewable energy.
Waste can be disposed of by incineration using heat treatments that contribute to converting waste into gas and steam, but it is considered a dangerous method.
It takes days, months, and possibly years for some materials to decompose in the ground. For example, paper takes 6 weeks to decompose.
As for glass, it takes a very long time to decompose, it may take a million years, and some say that it never decomposes.
While aluminum cans take more than 100 years to fully decompose, so does plastic, which takes a long time to decompose.
