Some examples of waste that cannot be broken down by decomposers include:
1. Plastics: Many types of plastics are not biodegradable and can persist in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years.
2. Metals: Metals such as aluminum and stainless steel do not biodegrade and can accumulate in the environment, posing a threat to wildlife.
3. Glass: Glass is not biodegradable and can take thousands of years to break down in the environment.
4. Styrofoam: Styrofoam is a type of plastic that is not biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time.
5. Electronic waste (e-waste): Electronic waste such as old computers, cell phones, and other electronics contain toxic components that can leach into the environment and harm wildlife. These items can be recycled or properly disposed of through e-waste recycling programs.
