Yes, within a month they are "gone" to the human eye. They have broken down into tiny, tiny pieces we can not see. But the little molecules of plastic are still there in the environment. It is not like when a tree decomposes and turns back to dirt. Unless you in Brasil use something I am not familiar with, the plastic does not go away.

There are very usefull, mainly because here we got a lot of low income families that realy need those free-supermarket-bags to trasport their belongs. The best part of it is that within one month in the environment they are completely gone. well, i don’t know if you have that there, but in my city at Brasil we only use decomposable platic bags.
