Is the entire bag biodegradable or just the ties?

I read on a different web site that it has accelerants to break down the bags and has heavy metals in them. The bags turn into small bits that are not earth friendly.

It doesn't look like the bag itself biodegrades to me. I bought these before. The company website only states the twist tie biodegrades, not the bag itself. Marketing...

no, it's not biodegradable. :( that is my only guilt---i try to offset my use of plastics in other ways. Since i have used biodegradable bags before, they are great but it does add up with costs.

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.

I searched bio verses combust online and the differences are between them. All I can tell you is doo-right box states that a plastic bag can take up to 1000 years to fully degrade. These eco-friendly bags dissolve in approx. 24 months. Want more answers, contact the young man Jonathon at dooright.com

I really don't know. They are suppose to be biodegradable and eco-friendly.

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

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.

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

These bags are NOT compostable or biodegradable! Earth friendly they are not either as they use a chemical to break the plastic down faster...From the company: "Our bags are are neither. We plan to have a 100% compostable line in the next couple of months so check back with us."

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.

They are not biodegradable or flushable, unfortunately... don't think they're compostable but I don't know much about composting...

If speaking on a chemistry level, then yes I believe, polyester is derived from olefinic process too. I am not a chemist, but merely a consumer who would like to reduce waste. Since purchasing these bags I have not used any of the disposable plastic bags that markets offer you to bag your produce. If these bags were described as "be free from further disposable plastic bags usage" might be more helpful to you.

I am sorry I do not know if this product is biodegradable. You might consider emailing the company directly.

They have been around for many years. I got on to them at the local dog park and then sent for them via mail. They are biodegradable and so easy to use.

They are very different from traditional biodegradable bags which can breakdown too quickly and develop leaks.GreenNPack Eco Friendly Bags will start the process of bio-assimilation two years from manufacture date - leaving no residue or harmful toxins. Hans, this is from the product description.... they are saying no residue or toxins.... I'm sure there's 'some' residue..... but not enough to worry about... it's the nontoxic part that's important!

After use, does the lid fit tight enough to control odor? Is there such a thing as biodegradable bags?

Probably not. Most biodegradable balloons I've seen are made from latex, but I've done some research and it looks like "biodegradable" balloons still take a long time to decompose and can still damage the environment if not picked up. I would recommend finding some standard mylar balloons and just picking them up when you're done. That way you'll get your latex free solution and still have a better impact on the environment than those just leaving latex balloons around.
