Best Answer

High-density polyethylene doesn't really chemically decompose; it's pretty stable. It can be mechanically eroded and exposure to high-energy photons (e.g. ultraviolet light) can break some of the bonds, but other than that it's very long lasting. It doesn't even burn particularly well.
