How long for jeans to decompose?

Jeans can take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to decompose, depending on various factors like the environment and the materials used in their production. The denim fabric, often made from cotton, decomposes more slowly due to the dyes and finishing treatments applied. Additionally, if jeans end up in a landfill, the lack of oxygen can further delay the decomposition process. Sustainable practices and recycling can help reduce their environmental impact.
