Different substances take different lengths of time to decompose

depends: biodegradable ones may go faster, i think plastic usually takes 15 years to decompose.............But, yes, if it is biodegradable, it will decompose faster...
The most time it takes for biodegradable substances to disintegrate is 180 days.
Biodegradable substances are waste substanses that can decompose after a peirod if time whether short or long e.g basically food, paper, etc While non biodegradable substances are waste products that can not decompose even after a long period of time e.g glass, metal cans, cups, plastic and the have to be recycled.
Polyester is considered non-biodegradable. Eventually it will break down, but like nylon and rayon, it can take up to 200 years to fully decompose.
It depends on the material. For example, tin cans take 100 years to decompose, styrofoam cups take 400-500 years and plastics take thousands of years to decompose. Plastics are the materials that has the longest decomposition period because they contain materials that do not decompose easily.
Simple Biodegradable waste:- The waste which gets compose quickly through the natural process like the dead remains of the plants and animals, faecal matters, etc.... Complex Biodegradable waste:- Some waste material does not decompose easily and has resistance to breakdown. Such material remains in environment for a long time and as such may prove harmful.
it will not degrade and will last for long
It takes 70-450 years to decompose. And if you buy biodegradable platic it only takes 75-180 days. Wow, that is a BIG difference and that is fantastic that people actually look at this and they think about it and then they say "Save The Ozone Layer!" I bet that everyone that reads this will take the step to buy everything that is biodegradable! Thank you soooooo much for reading this an taking time out of your life!
