Dixie paper plates, like many paper products, can take several months to decompose under optimal composting conditions. However, if they are coated with a thin layer of plastic for moisture resistance, decomposition can take much longer, potentially several years, depending on environmental conditions and the specific materials used in the coating. For quicker decomposition, it's best to use plates that are certified compostable.
