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 takes about 3 to 4 weeks to decompose a paper bag.
a long time
A single paper bag can take 3-4 weeks to decompose.
Since it is man made , plastic does not decompose as well as other materials like paper. To give you an example a plastic cup would take about 1 million years to decompose, whereas a paper cup would take only 40 or 50 years to decompose.
250 years;-)

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.
Not for long.
