The pouches will start the decomposition process once they come into micro-organisms found in compost at home or in an industrial compost site.
The rate of decomposition will depend on the temperature, but testing has shown that the pouches will take roughly 3-12 months to fully decompose in an ambient 20-30 degrees Celsius, leaving almost nothing behind except water and a natural mulch that will get absorbed by the earth.
