Polythene is a type of plastic that is non-biodegradable, meaning it does not break down easily in the environment. This has led to issues with pollution and waste management, as polythene items can persist in the environment for a long time. Efforts are being made to reduce the use of polythene and find more sustainable alternatives.
The main difference between Ordinary Polythene & Biodegradable polythene is: * Ordinary polythene takes an around 100 + years to degrade... * Biodegradable/Degradable polythene degrades or biodegrades in around 5 yrs depending on how it's made and how its disposed. However, biodegradation starts in the presence of sunlight, moisture, mechanical stress and/or microorganisms...

it will not degrade and will last for long
50-200 years, depending on the can material and the environment.
A banana typically takes 2-4 weeks to fully degrade and decompose, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture.
Non-biodegradable substances can last forever. Some substances are slow to degrade, but they still degrade over time. Those that are non-biodegradable should not degrade, even over long periods of time.
Shells are made of calcium carbonate, which can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down completely in the environment. Factors such as water acidity, temperature, and microbial activity can influence the degradation rate of shells.
What is it made of? Diaper with plastic coverings will never degrade completely. What happens is the plastic over months and years slowly breaks into tiny pieces, which remain in the soil, or are eaten by animals and insects.
how does it take for grabage to degrade
Plastic bottle caps can take hundreds of years to degrade in the environment. This is because they are typically made from non-biodegradable plastics such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Recycling is the best option to reduce the impact of plastic bottle caps on the environment.
50 years
Rubber takes 50 to 80 years to degrade.
