are they biodegradable?

my guess is not - since it doesn't say so on the package. I know we've left them outside through storms and they hold up very well, but I don't think that's really a test to their degradability.

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.

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.

They are thin plastic. If they are biodegradable it's probably only as much as other bags that claim to be. Usually this mean that in theory they are, but in practice, once they are buried in a landfill and cut off from oxygen not much happens.

They are unbleached paper, no wax or chlorine. I hope they are biodegradable, because I am putting used bags in my compost pine. :)

No...Biodegradable BB's will usually be labeled as such and cost slighlty more than normal BB's. Caution Biodegradable BB's have been known to damage higher fps airsoft guns.

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.

No they don't, at least not that I am aware of. They hold trash in pretty well too and I like the biodegradable asset.

I checked with the manufacturer before I got mine at Home Depot. They said is it not bleach and is biodegradable. Worked great for me!

Hi, The sides of the package don't display information about the biodegradability, just that they are 'extra long, extra strong, and lavender scented'. If you go to the manufacturer's website, however, you can find out that the core of each roll is made from recycled materials (as is the packaging) and the bag is a corn-based, all natural, compostable product. See more at http://www.earthrated.com/about/. Thanks.

I don't think so...it is super thin like the bio-degradables, but can't say for certain, which probably means no.

Yes, they are. From the company's website: http://www.naturesplus.com/products/productdetail.php?productNumber=3421&criteria=keywordSearchResults

I think it's another way of stating biodegradable. I believe some states have regulations on printing biodegradable on the packaging so they use EPI certified in place. If you look up www.epi-global.com there is more info there. Hope that helps!

No, the pod is thrown away after one use, but is 97% biodegradable, unlike most.

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.

No. You use the pods just like a regular k-cup and throw them away afterwards. They are supposed to be biodegradable for the environment.

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.

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

All I can tell you is in the product description it states: Complies with FDA Reg. 177.1520. Do you mean bio degradable? Or do you mean can you wear them more than once? I only use "once" and for handling meat products. Hope this helps.

You got me curious enough that I went and checked the end label. "Biodegradable", and New Rochelle, New York are printed on it but nothing relative to your question.
