How Waste Decomposes, continued
Generally, things that are made from plant and animal material decompose a lot faster than other
materials. Recently, though, scientists have been developing ways to make some materials, like
plastics, decompose much faster, by making them with substances derived from plants.
Even so, the best way of all to decrease the amount of rubbish in landfill is to reduce, reuse and
recycle - so that rubbish isn’t produced in the first place!
