It takes up to approximentaly 5 years to decompose into land.Another AnswerThe new bags developed for grocery use take about two months to decompose. This is because they are specially treated to decompose when exposed to sunlight. Given that they are exposed to sunlight when you carry them out of the store, the process starts immediately. Other petrochemical products do not compose which is why you need to recycle. Plastic bottles, styrofoam, and other items in this line need to be melted and reused.
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!

Depends on what they're made of. Plastic? paper? foil? cellophane?
You mean decompose -- Plastic decompose in a long period of time depending on the type of plastic and the environmental condition to which it is exposed.
It takes about 3 to 4 weeks to decompose a paper bag.
The plastic bag will not decompose but it may clog up the toilet.
I would really take up too 3 weeks because well its paper
if the jar is glass, it wont decompose, sand does not decompose and if you heat up special sand that's glass.
About a week
a long time
5-10 years with metal 5 years with cotton 60 years with grass
A single paper bag can take 3-4 weeks to decompose.

Yes, you can compost paper bags as long as they are not coated with any plastic or other non-biodegradable materials. Paper bags will break down in a compost pile and contribute to the organic matter in the soil.
