2-3 years
It can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months for paper to decompose, depending on the conditions such as moisture and oxygen levels. Recycling paper is a more sustainable option compared to letting it decompose in a landfill.
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.
Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in a landfill site due to their non-biodegradable nature. This long decomposition time contributes to environmental pollution and sustainability issues.
No oxegen.
It takes about 3 to 4 weeks to decompose a paper bag.
Approximately 35-40% of the waste in landfills is paper and cardboard. Recycling paper is important to reduce the amount of paper waste that ends up in landfills, as it can take a long time to decompose and contributes to methane emissions.
When paper is no longer used, it can be recycled to make new paper products. If it is not recycled, it can decompose in landfill over time. Recycling paper helps to save trees and energy that would be used to produce new paper from raw materials.
a long time
It acually takes a really long time.. but a lot longer in a landfill.. people should just RECYCLE!!!!
A single paper bag can take 3-4 weeks to decompose.
An aerosol can typically takes around 200-500 years to decompose in a landfill. However, the metal components of the can can be recycled if disposed of properly.
Paper degrades at different rates depending on composition of the paper, the treatment of the landfill, the abundance of enzymes and bacteria and weather patterns. It can be up to 5 years
