biodegradable


Explanation:
The two terms are "zagnitja sposoben" and "zagnitja nesposoben." Thus "biodegradable" and "non-biodegradable."

Example sentence(s):
  • Biodegradable waste is a type of waste, typically originating from plant or animal sources, which may be degraded by other living organisms. Waste that cannot be broken down by other living organisms are called non-biodegradable
