What substances are organic waste that are not harmful in the environment when decomposed?

Organic waste includes substances such as food scraps, yard waste, paper, and natural textiles. When decomposed, these materials break down into nutrients that enrich the soil, support plant growth, and promote healthy ecosystems. They are generally non-toxic and can be composted, returning valuable organic matter to the environment without causing harm. Proper management of organic waste can also reduce landfill use and greenhouse gas emissions.
