Is this plastic sheets bio degradable like the regular trash bag? I want something that lasts for ever.

although nothing lasts 'forever', you should be able to get a couple decades out of this, pending no accidents.

I am not sure if it will break down like a regular trash bag but I do know that if it is exposed to sunlight and weather that it will break down after a year or two. We used it for a greenhouse and it started to shred from the sun and wind, after the first year. If you are going to cover it with dirt so that the sun can't get to it, it should last indefinitely. We also used this plastic to cover a root cellar, putting dirt on top of it and it is still going strong.

I do not know if they are biodegradable by California standards ( my dog and I are in Poland right now) but they have a Facebook page and I am sure someone will answer your question there:doorightbags.com/facebook.

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.

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.

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

They are made to break down. Glad makes regular (not for recycling) clear bags - I would go with those.

On the box (packaging) it says that the bags "dissolve in as little as 24 months!" which means that they are biodegradable, and break down pretty quickly. Hope that helps. :-)

It is the reason I looked into and purchased them. The national brand of zip-type top bags claim their bags are biodegradable, but I felt paper bags would be more so; so, I tried them.

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

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.

We just use regular trash bags. It works just fine. The drawstring bags are the best. Easy to dispose of. Just make sure to get the sturdy ones, not the cheap ones that rip easily or you'll have a nasty mess to deal with. &lt;3

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

From http://www.ifyoucare.com/less-waste:"The packaging of every product is made from unbleached and whenever possible, recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again. The coffee filters, parchment paper, baking cups, waxed paper and sandwich bags are 100% biodegradable and should be composted. The aluminum foil is made from recycled aluminum and can be recycled again."So, to answer your question, yes. And thank you for caring =)

When I run out of these bags for the Trashrac system I use the plastic bags from the grocery store...if that is any help in your quest.

Bags are NOT made of paper. I believe the plastic is quite durable - not really thin. Maybe like a good thick zip lock bag. If something pointed is put in the bag, it may rip but that would be true of even a very thick plastic.

I am not sure about the organic nature but this is the one from dirty jobs. I have been using them for two seasons now and nothing is better. keeps a lot of plastic out of the landfills.
