elements.

everything else will decompose under the right conditions. however i believe you are asking about what can be composted in a compost heap, arent you?

lol styrofoam take 1000 years to decompose; i wouldn't consider that a realistic decomposition time

plastic (polymers) never biodegrade it just breaks into smaller pieces

why wouldnt you just answer the question properly if you know what he meant lol, elements DO break down too and form isotopes or simply vanish into EM energy (half-lives)
