How long does it take for plastic to decompose? Polyethylene, the most common type of plastic with over 60 million tons produced annually, takes approximately 450 years to decompose. Plastic waste is a growing problem across the world. Recycled polyethylene, or rPE, is one way to improve waste management and build a circular economy. Watch now to learn how companies like Hanwha are using rPE to make packaging more sustainable and build a greener tomorrow.
