On a national basis, that means an average of 35.8m plastic bottles are used every day, but only 19.8m are recycled each day. So an average of 16m plastic bottles a day are not being recycled and are ending up in landfill â and eventually the worldâs oceans, where they will take years to break down.
Plastic bottles are everywhere: from water bottles, to soda bottles, and even to reusable bottles, every year there are more and more of them filling up the landfills. We know that theyâre not immediately biodegradable, but how long does it take for a plastic bottle to really biodegrade? Different kinds of plastic can degrade at different times, but the average time for a plastic bottle to completely degrade is at least 450 years. It can even take some bottles 1000 years to biodegrade! Thatâs a long time for even the smallest bottle. 90% of bottles arenât even recycled. Makes you think twice about that water or soda, right?
