Aluminum foil can take upwards of four hundred years to decompose without any assistance. That time can be reduced by exposure to certain acids or chemicals.
Biodegrade means to break down into simpler chemical elements by biological organisms, like bacteria or fungi. Organic things can biodegrade easily, like leaves, food and dead animals.
Non-organic things like metal cans can break down into simpler parts, but take many hundreds of years.
Aluminum foil can take upwards of four hundred years to decompose without any assistance. That time can be reduced by exposure to certain acids or chemicals.
Aluminum or tin foil is not biodegradable. It takes 200 to 500 years to decompose. It does degrade into pieces in 20 to 50 years, but the components take much longer.
Tin foil over time will decompose. However it will not turn to its original state. It will break into pieces and mix with soil.
Foil is aluminum and will practically never decompose.
