The plastic rings that hold six beverage cans are these days made of special polymers that cause them to break down when exposed to sunlight. Though they still remain intact for many months, they become extremely brittle and can be broken easily. To decompose entirely, it would take only a few years, if exposed directly to sunlight. If buried, the plastic would decompose extremely slowly, probably on the order of several hundred years.
Naturally, the fastest way to dispose of them is by sending them to a recycling centre to be melted down.
