Best Answer

A cotton or woolen sock (natural fibres) will break down in a warm moist landfill in a matter of weeks. A sock made of man-made fibres (rayon, nylon etc) will really never break down. It may break into tiny pieces (which animals and insects may eat) but it will still remain rayon and nylon etc for ever. (It is possible that a chemical reaction, or radiation from the sun, may change its composition.)
