are all materials biodegradable?

there are some very fine wires (only slightly larger than a thread) that are not biodegradable but my husband thinks that they are fine enough that they burn up.

I believe the manufacturer states that on their packaging. The paper globe is bio-degradable; I would assume the fine wire collar is eventually bio-degradable. Read the package specifications on the description of their product stated on Amazon.

No. There is a wire at the bottom that holds the fuel block and is the frame for the bottom and the fuel block is like some type of sponge material impregnated with a combustible substance.

I could not find anywhere on the box where it said. It does say bags, strings, and tags are biodegradable. Can you tell by looking at the bag? It's not pure white. I would guess not bleached.

These bags are oxo-biodegradable. The epi logo is another way of stating these bags are biodegradable. There's more information on their website: www.epi-global.comBecause of some state laws, biodegradable cannot be printed on the box unless the box is biodegradable as well.

No. Plastic is not biodegradable. Anyone who says otherwise is stretching the truth, at best, or lying. Some thin, light plastics will decay quickly but that just turns them into tiny pieces of non-degradable plastic. In lakes and oceans this is an increasing problem. There are plastic substitutes that are biodegradable such as some food packaging. I find these to be very good poop bags and I use them only away from home. Near home or in my yard, I use a pooper scooper and dispose without a bag.

First time I purchase, the rolls had a small sticker saying "biodegradable". This time was a brand tag. I guess they have not changed the materials.

On the bottle we got the ingredients are listed on the back of bottle, all natural and biodegradable.We like the shampoo and just shake the bottle before use.

MuttMitts are degradable, not biodegradable (distinct difference). One of their products is compostable but not biodegradable. Google the differences in the terms.

Yes, They Do Describe Them As Biodegradable Besides Being Made From recycled Material. They Decompose Within A 12 To 18 Month Period Supposedly. I Love Them, Smell Good To Help Hide The Odor And Are Plenty Big Enough Also.

Don't know about biodegradeability. From the seller's website: "Commercially available crystal cat litters have been extensively tested and are safe for your cat. Its basic chemical makeup can be closely compared to sand. The industrial name for it is silica gel, which is non-crystalline, porous and a safe substance most commonly used to absorb excess moisture in flowers and food or to protect materials such as leather or computer equipment from humidity."

No -- they are silica crystals, which are not soluble or biodegradable. You'd be asking for a plugged-toilet problem. ...Steve N.

The active chemicals in the product are not organic and thus would not fit the definition of bio-degradable in my opinion. The product does break down to nonreactive byproducts that are bound to the carbon atoms in the materials that are cleaned away from the toilet. Some small amount of carbon dioxide will be released as will be the case with any effective cleaner. A small amount of boron gas will evaporate during the time when no organic material is available to be broken down. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst for the environment I would rank this product 2. Disclaimer: I am not a chemist.

As far as I know, plastic that will break down into tiny little pieces is still plastic and that is not truly biodegradeable. Cornstarch I think is biodegradeable but I am having difficulty finding cornstarch bags since the ones I used to buy were recalled.

There was no specific information included about biodegradability, thus I do not believe they are.

The product is reclaimed wood pulp and I compost discarded litter, so yes, it's biodegradable. I don't know about flushing it. You don't want to have plumbing issues! The company phone number for questions is 360-734-7415, or go to carefresh.com.

I'm not sure. We bought them for use at our cabin in the mountains to protect wildlife and haven't used them yet. I'll check the package next time I go up there. We have biodegradable dog poop bags and they're made out of corn. I believe in it.

Yes but not too bad....my wife will never go back to a plastic tray that you have to clean out. She like to use this biodegradable option.

These ones are not really in the US. They have "white-ish" ones that are. You can find all the info here. http://earthrated.com/about-the-bags/ Straight from the webiste: While these bags meet all Canadian standards for being labelled biodegradeable, some areas of the United States have different definitions of what is a biodegradeable product. In bringing our bags to the United States, we've had to change our terminology, but our bags remain the same eco-friendly bags they always were.
