In favorable circumstances less than 1 year.
It takes about 10 to 20 years for a simple piece of paper to decompose, while more complex items like plastic bottles can take hundreds of years. However, some materials may never fully decompose, creating long-lasting environmental hazards.
Brass does not decompose in the traditional sense, as it is a durable metal alloy made from copper and zinc. It can last for hundreds or even thousands of years without breaking down, but it may corrode or tarnish over time.
Although estimates vary, it can take up to 10-20 years for a pencil, which is mainly made of wood and graphite, to decompose in a landfill environment. However, the metal ferrule and eraser may take longer to decompose due to their synthetic components. Recycling or using sustainable alternatives can help reduce the environmental impact of pencils.
It typically takes oak leaves anywhere from 6 months to 4 years to decompose fully, depending on factors such as moisture content, temperature, and presence of decomposers. Generally, leaves decompose faster in warmer and wetter environments.
Glass can take thousands of years to decompose in a landfill because it is not biodegradable and does not break down naturally. This makes it a significant environmental concern as it can remain in landfills for centuries. Recycling glass is a more sustainable option to reduce its environmental impact.

it takes about 10 years to decompose .
Latex is made from the sap of a tree and is therefore a natural substance. It takes about as long for a latex balloon to biodegrade as it does an oak leaf, about 6 months.
A styrofoam cup can take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. The exact time can vary depending on factors such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to sunlight.
