I have heard from some that it takes around 1000 years to decompose. Hope this helps!
It actually never decomposes.
Yes. Rubber bands are thermoset polymers. Unlike thermoplastics, they do not melt or turn rubbery/soft when heated above their glass transition temperature. Instead, when they are heated, they decompose, losing mass, breaking up their polymer chains and become more weakened in strength. There are also other ways that they can decompose, which is due to UV light from the Sun or other sources attacking the polymer chains of the rubber bands. This also causes it to weaken.
no plastic does not decompose

Rubber never decomposes!
Given enough time yes, they will decompose. It would take thousands of years for this to happen.

Rubber boots can take hundreds of years to decompose in a landfill due to their synthetic nature and resistance to natural degradation processes. Recycling or repurposing rubber boots is a more sustainable option to consider.
Rubber tires take a long time to decompose because they are made of synthetic rubber, which is a durable material that is resistant to natural decomposition processes. Additionally, rubber tires are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as heat and moisture, making them even slower to break down.

Silicone rubber typically combusts at temperatures around 300-400°C (572-752°F). Heating silicone rubber beyond this temperature can cause it to decompose and release hazardous fumes.
An eraser, made from synthetic rubber, can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in the environment. This is because synthetic rubber is not biodegradable and does not easily break down like natural materials. Proper disposal through recycling or waste management is important to minimize the environmental impact of erasers.
Ahh No. Nostril piercing needs to be done with 316 LVM Surgical Stainless Steel, Niobium, Titanium or Bioplast. Rubber will deteriorate and decompose causing infections, allergic reaction and even blood poisoning.
it takes 70 to 80 years for a tennis shoe to degrade..
