Once a pen is used and tossed into landfill, it could take up to 50,000 years to decompose, which is staggering considering over 14 million pens are bought worldwide, each day. :(
The decomposition time for pens can vary significantly depending on their materials. Plastic pens can take hundreds of years to break down, while biodegradable pens made from materials like corn starch may decompose within a few months to a couple of years. Additionally, the environmental conditions where the pens are disposed of also influence their decomposition rates.
