What water bottles desinagreat in land fills?

Most plastic water bottles, particularly those made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate), can take hundreds of years to degrade in landfills. While some biodegradable options exist, traditional plastics break down into microplastics rather than fully decomposing. Moreover, the conditions in landfills—such as lack of sunlight, air, and moisture—hinder the degradation process, making it even slower. This highlights the importance of recycling and using sustainable alternatives.
