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.

It actually never decomposes.
2-5 weeks
A pen or pencil can take a significant amount of time to decompose, often ranging from several decades to hundreds of years, depending on the materials used. Plastic pens may take over 100 years to break down, while wooden pencils can decompose within a few years in the right conditions. The presence of non-biodegradable components like plastic and metal in pens contributes to their long decomposition time.
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. :(
Does not decompose
1700 years to decompose
how lond does it take to decompose a band aid
iron does not decompose but after a long time and i mean a long time it just starts to flake away but does not decompose
it takes over a year for it to decompose
it takes about 10 years to decompose .
Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in a landfill site due to their non-biodegradable nature. This long decomposition time contributes to environmental pollution and sustainability issues.
A cotton bag will take a few months to biodegrade/decompose.
Fiber glass may take a very long to decompose depending on its composition. If it is pure glass or made from sand then it may never decompose.
