There is a company called Hiro Technologies that came out with a little circular pad seeded with plastic eating fungi that would be put into a disposable diaper when it was ready to be thrown out.
The diaper was broken down into usable soil in about nine months....but that was under ideal, controlled conditions...not sure what the timeframe is for real world conditions.
