I just found a plastic knife in one of my drawers, and written on it in raised letters is 100% Compostable.So, from that I understand that if I throw this knife into a compost heap, it will eventually become mulch...but if it stays in my drawer, will in biodegrade on its own? Or will it take hundreds of years?
It is a plastic made from corn starch or like the previous answerer stated, hemp. It won't disintegrate in your drawer, but it can break down over time (some plastics about a year), which regular plastics don't (half life of closer to 300 years).
