Most plastics break down more quickly when exposed to sunlight than when buried. The exact time will depend on the type of thickness of the plastic. Some plastics are being made now that breakdown in about 6 months, others may take 10 years or more.

The bag itself will take centuries if not longer to break down as it is a layered metalized plastic material.
Plastic can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down in the ocean, depending on the type of plastic and the environmental conditions. However, even when it does break down, it just fragments into smaller pieces called microplastics, which continue to persist in the environment.
Nylon is a synthetic material made to be durable and long-lasting. It can take hundreds of years to break down in the environment, making it a significant contributor to plastic pollution. Proper disposal and recycling are important to mitigate its impact on the environment.
Yes, plastic bags can take up to 500 years or more to break down in the environment. This is because they are made from synthetic polymers that are not easily biodegradable, leading to long-lasting pollution. Recycling or proper disposal of plastic bags is important to reduce their environmental impact.
Plastic never decomposes. It will eventually break down into tiny fragments of plastic which can be eaten accidentally by insects, animals and birds.
Plastic bottles can take hundreds to thousands of years to fully decompose in the environment. Some estimates suggest that it may take up to 450 years for a plastic bottle to break down. Recycling plastic bottles can help reduce the environmental impact of their disposal.
50 years!!!!
forever.....
