It takes approxmatly 500 to 1000 years for plastic and aluminum to break down.
hundreds, glass takes thousands!!but glass is just fused sand and can be returned to its natural form by simple crushing. plastics are complex hydrocarbon polymers.
Glass is not biodegradable because outside forces like weather cannot break it down. Glass has to be melted in order to break it down. Recycling glass is big business in the United States.
The bag itself will take centuries if not longer to break down as it is a layered metalized plastic material.
