How long it takes for an aluminum can to biodegrade
It takes 1000 years for it too biodegrade and that is if it is buried. :)
Aluminum foil does not biodegrade. Biodegradation only happens when microorganisms (microbes, fungi etc.) use a material as food. Aluminum foil can chemically degrade if exposed to acids or alkalis in soil or groundwater. It can be converted to aluminum oxide in a fire. It can be shredded into very small particles by abrasion, the smaller particles are more apt to be oxidized or dissolved. If not exposed to this physical degradation aluminum will last for thousands of years
a long time.
Eraser is made out of rubber. If exposed under the sun, an eraser will take between 50 to 80 years to biodegrade.
5 to 10 years.

From www.mongabay.com: Plates made from organically grown, highly sustainable bamboo will biodegrade in four to six months, the manufacturer says.
A cotton bag will take a few months to biodegrade/decompose.
It can take tin cans anywhere from 50 to 100-years to biodegrade. The decomposition is very dependent on the environment where the material is decomposing.
