  1. Never, even as the container breaks up the plastic still remains plastic so buy a purifier and stop buying bottled water.


  2. "This depends upon the plastic (polymer) and the environment to which it is

    exposed. Polystyrene decomposes quickly when exposed to sun and weather, as

    do polyvinyl acetates, other polyesters, and polyvinylchloride. On the other

    hand, polyvinylfluoride  (DuPont's Teflon (TM)) is virtually indestructable. Even the same

    polymer can differ quite widely in its decomposition depending upon how it

    is formulated."  (Vince Calder)

  3. All of the plastic ever used is still plastic. they do not decompose.

  4. u mean plastic bottles? 1000 years
