Paper in a warm moist landfill will decompose in 2 or 3 weeks. If it is cooler and drier, then it will take longer. Paper will survive in a very dry climate for many hundreds of years (people find old newspapers in the walls of their houses).
Stronger paper, like cartridge paper and board will take longer, depending on the thickness and toughness, as well as the moisture and heat mentioned above.
It depends on dampness, proximity to soil bacteria, quantity of paper e.g. a thick book or a few pages, if shredded or not etc.
Shredded paper scattered in a garden soil disappears in a few weeks.
paper takes about 2-5 weeks to decompose.
Paper will decompose in a warm damp environment in a few weeks. In a dry environment, paper can remain intact for years.
Since it takes several months for wood to biodegrade, paper will only take about a month to biodegrade, because it is made from wood, but it isn't very thick.
it takes one paper towel about twenty years to decompose. so think of that. if you have a kid, that paper towel will be here for a lot of their lifetime.
Actually, it takes 2-4 weeks-quicker than a banana peel which takes 2-5 weeks.
In warm wet conditions a small roll of paper will decompose in a few weeks, especially if helped by some decomposers and other organisms.
In warm and wet conditions, just a few days.

It can take up to two months for an apple core to decompose in a landfill. Banana peels will take a few days to decompose. While glass takes a very long time to decompose, a paper bag can take up to five months.
It can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months for paper to decompose, depending on the conditions such as moisture and oxygen levels. Recycling paper is a more sustainable option compared to letting it decompose in a landfill.
how long does fabrics take to decompose how long does fabrics take to decompose
It takes 100 years for a battery to decompose.
No oxegen.
It takes about 3 to 4 weeks to decompose a paper bag.
When paper is no longer used, it can be recycled to make new paper products. If it is not recycled, it can decompose in landfill over time. Recycling paper helps to save trees and energy that would be used to produce new paper from raw materials.
It acually takes a really long time.. but a lot longer in a landfill.. people should just RECYCLE!!!!
a long time
A single paper bag can take 3-4 weeks to decompose.
Paper degrades at different rates depending on composition of the paper, the treatment of the landfill, the abundance of enzymes and bacteria and weather patterns. It can be up to 5 years
Ink takes 1000 years to decompose, most of the time if you look at a polluted landfill you'll see that most of the pollution is ink.
