The environment determines the rate of decomposition. In certain situations of great humidity and high temperature it could take a few months. Some cotton from the tombs of the Egyptian Pharaohs have remained fairly stable for over 3000 years (dry, cool, and dark).
whoa.......It depend on where and what kind of fabric........next to a unembalmed body, in the ocean, under ice, in the sun........you know that..........some fabrics have been found in dark cool desert environments in great condition thousands of years later....In hot wet conditions next to decomposing materials....not long if it is thin silk or cotton...seems to me that double knit polys last forever......get a lawyer
solid waste helps it decompose faster then anything else
According to scientists, since cotton cannot be recycled or used in compost then it can take 1 to 5 months for it to decompose.
it depend on the place,worms,weather and quantity so it is not fixed it may take months or years
Depends on the type of cloth. Wool takes many years, cotton rather less. Man-made fibres are variable, many do not biodegrade at all.
Yes.
I had a test on that. However, all I know is that it takes under 2 years for it to decompose(biodegrade)
around 7
how long does fabrics take to decompose how long does fabrics take to decompose
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.
Yes, some places will take cotton to use for making paper. Cotton is also recycled into cleaning rags. Cotton will also decompose in landfill as it is an organic product, grown on a cotton bush.
A cotton bag will take a few months to biodegrade/decompose.
It takes 100 years for a battery to decompose.
No oxegen.

It acually takes a really long time.. but a lot longer in a landfill.. people should just RECYCLE!!!!
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.
Cotton is a very comfortable fabric, and reasonably long-wearing. Cost is reasonable.
As LEGO bricks are made of plastic, it would take a long time. A long time would be hundreds of years or maybe even more.
