A Q-tip, primarily made of plastic and cotton, can take anywhere from 100 to 500 years to decompose, depending on environmental conditions. The cotton portion may break down faster, while the plastic stem can persist in the environment for much longer. Proper disposal, such as in the trash rather than flushing, can help mitigate their environmental impact.
