    • @Icysnowman256
      @Icysnowman256 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Underground, leather is surrounded by the bacteria and fungi that decomposes it, while in a car, there is a lot less of that bacteria. Although, yes, if you don't clean a car for a few hundred years, the leather will decompose, although it will still be slower than if it was underground. I hope that answers your question

    Please consider that for products made with PLA, i.e. beverage cups used in eco-friendly location all over the world, a special set of circumstances much occur for the earth friendly processes to take place, including but not limited to disposal in "facilities that can heat material to 140 degrees for ten days" and after the article in this weeks El Nuevo Herald, "La basuram un seriously problema en Miami-Dade", it isn't likely that big cities can manage seperating PLA plastics from those that don't easily degrade.
