Decomposition in a natural, land setting is comparable to that of paper, leaves and food waste; in fresh or salt water, decomposition generally occurs within eight to 14 months. (However, it would be environmentally irresponsible to dump waste in any form of container, even bio bags, in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams.
