Organics refers to organic products collectively—usually food grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers: The store has a good selection of organics.
In waste management, organics means biodegradable material like food scraps and yard waste: The city now collects organics separately from trash.
In chemistry, organics are carbon-based compounds.
