The duration for a plastic bag to break down primarily depends on the type of plastic used, and a number of environmental factors.
There are plastics that actually break down in a few years, other plastics are in the centuries to millennium range. On top of that, it depends on the environment, too: acidic, basic, wet, dry, protected, exposed, temperature, etc.
