it takes thousands of years for a water bottle to decompose.
degradable plastics will thinner, lighter, reduction in strength, become scraps after 3 months in normal environment. It has to be explosed in air to degrade.
It depends on the quality, but a tin can takes 50 years, so it takes a long time.
If it has plastic outside, the thickness of a plastic bag, that might take 5 years to degrade. If it is filled with cotton, that would take 5 months to degrade.
Biodegradable plastic bags can degrade in a few weeks.
Last time I checked it was 10,000 years
400 years
how does it take for grabage to degrade
plastic do not degrade. If we bury plastic for years it will remain underground damaging under ground life. Actually, synthetic plastics DO degrade, they just do so very slowly. They do not "damage underground life", they simply take up valuable space in landfill sites because they take so long to degrade.
What is it made of? Diaper with plastic coverings will never degrade completely. What happens is the plastic over months and years slowly breaks into tiny pieces, which remain in the soil, or are eaten by animals and insects.
about 5oo years...
plastic may not ever bio degrade , normally it would take about 500 to 700 years for plastic to mix in the mud . (wasn't the answer simple )
Rubber takes 50 to 80 years to degrade.
45 mins to 1 hours
Plastic never decomposes. It will eventually break down into tiny fragments of plastic which can be eaten accidentally by insects, animals and birds.
