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.
A typical plastic-based crisp packet can take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment due to its slow degradation process. It is important to reduce the use of single-use plastics like crisp packets and properly dispose of them to minimize environmental impact.
A banana skin take roughly 3-5 weeks to decompose depending on the circumstances. the banana skin takes so long to decompose as it contains some chemicals that go into the use of making plastics.
It depends on the bioplastic. Some can decompose in a composting pile in several weeks, while some are meant to be stable like regular plastics for many many decades.
I don't really knows how long it takes to decompose because it really depends on which material it is based on. So you would have to be specific.
A disposable nappy can take hundreds of years to decompose due to the materials used, such as plastics and super absorbent polymers. This long decomposition time contributes to environmental waste and pollution concerns.
Disposable diapers can take up to 500 years to decompose due to the materials used in their production. The synthetic components like plastics and absorbent gels do not break down easily in the environment, contributing to their long decomposition time.
Does not decompose
1700 years to decompose
how lond does it take to decompose a band aid
iron does not decompose but after a long time and i mean a long time it just starts to flake away but does not decompose
it takes over a year for it to decompose
