Answer:
Plastic takes over 400 years to decompose. The chemical bonds that make-up plastic are strong and made to last. The decomposition rate of plastic can vary depending on the type, however, this typically ranges from 50 to 600 years.

Plastic, polythene bags, and broken glass do not change at all in one week.
- Different types of plastics decompose at different rates based on their composition and external factors. But all of them take a minimum of 20 years and a maximum of 500 years to decompose fully.
- Standard polythene is not biodegradable. External factors and their composition can only promote partial decomposition which also takes around 450 years.
- Glass takes nearly a million years to decompose and if it's disposed into a landfill it might not even decompose at all. They can be recycled completely, so it's advised to not throw them away.
