How Long Does Plastic Take To Decompose?

Plastic doesn’t go away easily..

Why do plastics last so long?

Plastic is derived from petroleum, and its carbon bonds don’t exist in nature. This makes it much harder and energy-intensive to break.

For example, a plastic water bottle can take around 450 years to decompose…

Plastics we use for minutes end up polluting the earth for centuries.

How is your organization tackling the plastic waste challenge?
