hello, I was wondering if the mat is biodegradable

I'm not sure. I don't remember anything on the packaging that said whether it was or not. It is made of jute which is a natural fiber but it has a gummy non-slip backing which I'm not so sure what it is composed of. That's all that I can tell you about it.

From the instruction insert: These disposable Table Topper placemats, and the zip-close bag containing them, are made with a revolutionary new additive that enables them to fully bio-degrade in as little as 9 months to 5 years!" and that "the plastic simply degrades into an inert "humus" that is actually beneficial to the environment and conductive to plant growth So I would take that as a yes :)

There are no seeds in mat. I reseeded my yard beginning of April. Used this mat in places where I have had erosion problems. Grass is growing better where mat is placed. Wish I could have afforded to put mat over whole yard. I have left mat in place it is suppose to be biodegradable.

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.

They are biodegradable but state "they are not designed to be disposed with food wastes for composting purposes"

The bags are biodegradable but the box doesnt say anything about CA standards.

Absolutely Not!! The IronDogFitness Jute Yoga Mats are made from the Jute plant. We wanted our mats to be ECO friendly. and not harm the environment. Also most PVC yoga mats have a chemical smell when opened and that smell last for quite a while, that's why The IronDog decided from the very beginning to make our mats from the natural fiber of Jute.

They are not advertised as being biodegradable. If they were, it is likely that they would be ballyhoo'd as such.

These bags are not biodegradable. They are made of 95% plastic; the cornstarch just helps the plastic break into pieces but they will still exist in the environment for hundreds of years.

There are no grass seeds imbedded in the mat. You will need to put grass seed down before you place the mat. The product is supposed to be left in place after the grass grows through. The product will photo- and biodegrade over time.

I have checked the packaging and the bag and can find nothing about being biodegradable. I was under that impression from another reviewer I guess, but nothing is said to bear that out.

I am not sure what you mean by biodegradable? They break down when I put them in my compost pile, so I would consider them so......

I'm guessing it's not. It smells like new plastic when first used, though the smell fades over time. I believe the smell is probably the mat killing me as I use it to become healthier - cruel irony!

Hi Lauren. No. They are not biodegradable, unfortunately. I had previously purchased another brand on here that WAS biodegradable, but they were no longer available when I tried to reorder.

So I've threw away the original packaging which would tell me precisely what it is, but I can tell you that it feels like a cotton-paper blend. After I have used these tea bags, I disposed them in my worm bin and so whatever it is, it's biodegradable.

Sure, just search amazon for earth rated waste bag and you will see their biodegradable bags
