In a composter, a paper towel typically takes about 2 to 4 weeks to decompose, depending on factors like moisture, temperature, and the presence of microorganisms. If the paper towel is made from natural materials and is free of synthetic additives, it will break down more quickly. Regularly turning the compost and maintaining a balanced mix of green and brown materials can also speed up the decomposition process.

I have heard from some that it takes around 1000 years to decompose. Hope this helps!

It can take anywhere from 2 to 5 months for paper to decompose, depending on the conditions such as moisture and oxygen levels. Recycling paper is a more sustainable option compared to letting it decompose in a landfill.
Various factors determine how long it takes paper to compose, such as the environment and the type of paper product. A paper bag may decompose in a month, while it may take cardboard 2 months to decompose.
Depends on what they're made of. Plastic? paper? foil? cellophane?
On average, a paper tissue takes about 2-4 weeks to decompose. However, decomposition rates can vary based on environmental conditions like moisture, temperature, and microorganisms present.
if the jar is glass, it wont decompose, sand does not decompose and if you heat up special sand that's glass.
It can take a metal paper clip hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in the environment, as metals do not break down easily like organic materials. Recycling paper clips is recommended to reduce their environmental impact.
