If you are talking about aluminum foil, it takes a very long time. Aluminum is already in its elemental form, so there is no 'compound' to break down. Aluminum does not rust or corrode under normal exposure to the environment. The small amount that oxides on on its surface act as an inhibitor to further oxidation. So, an aluminum foil that is buried in a dump would last longer than our lifetimes.
Paint can take several years to decompose, depending on the type of paint and environmental conditions. Water-based paints may only take a few years to break down, while oil-based paints can take many more years due to their toxic components. Proper disposal methods are important to prevent environmental harm.
Given enough time yes, they will decompose. It would take thousands of years for this to happen.
Shoes can take up to 50 years to decompose in the environment due to their synthetic materials like rubber and plastic.
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.
It can tale between 50 and 80 years for a boot rubber sole to decompose. Different items can take different amounts of time to decompose in a landfill. For example, a banana peel can take a few days, but an aluminum can take between 200 and 500 years.
Aluminum foil can take upwards of four hundred years to decompose without any assistance. That time can be reduced by exposure to certain acids or chemicals.

A foil gum wrapper can take around 20-50 years to decompose in the environment due to its material composition and resistance to breakdown processes. Recycling the wrapper is a more sustainable option instead of letting it decompose in the environment.
It takes about
5.26 years

Depends on what they're made of. Plastic? paper? foil? cellophane?
1700 years to decompose
I believe it is 46 years or something like that..
Silver foil is non-biodegradable because it is made of metal, which does not break down easily in the environment. It can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, leading to potential environmental pollution if not disposed of properly.
Foil is 100% recyclable but take 400 years to breakdown. Foil is not biodegradable, because there are nothing for the microbes to feed on.
it takes about 10 years to decompose .
