What makes these bags Eco-Friendly?

Here's what it says on DooRight's website: Did you know that a plastic bag takes up to 1000 years to fully degrade? Our eco-friendly bags dissolve in as little as 24 months! Our poop bags were created to help care for the environment and have received the ASTM 6954-04 designation. Oxo biodegradable plastic is intended to address the environmental problem caused by plastic waste which gets accidentally or deliberately into the open environment.

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!

I do not see anything on the label that indicates what the bags are made out of since they are not used for food. Many food bags now state that they are BPA free but I am unaware of any concerns with pvc. You can contact the manufacturer at http://nancysilver.com. The label claims that this is the same technology used by NASA, The Guggenheim Museum and jewelry manufactures worldwide and they have worked for me!

Some type of heavy(er) plastic. They are completely odor free and work very well. I travel frequently and these are a real space-saver.

I bought the clear plastic envelop bag A7 7 1/6x5 1/4 from Wholesale Craft Outlet and they worked perfectly for me. They reseal on the shorter end and came quickly and were of good quality. Hope this helps you a bit.

I personally use a supermarket plastic bag. It is too small to justify using a commercial trash bag

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.

The bags that are still in the box, say BPA free. I have taken the containers out of box. I have no idea on them. Hope this helps

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 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."

They are made out of a waterproof material like a plastic fabric so they can be washed off or probably machine washed then NOT dried in the dryer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine!! This is the first time I am able to put nothing but whites into one of the bags and then bleach those things rather than the way it was before when I only had 2 bags for lights and darks and had to separate things! You'll really like it!!

It's made out of the stuff that they make the reusable grocery bags from. It's like a recycled plastic fiber that's kind of woven. It's not lined.

I use Ziplock vacuum bags. They are less expensive and I actually like them better.

The bags are reusable and do not need to be replaced. They are machine washable and very durable.

Tall kitchen can bags...usually they are white. The best quality you can afford so they are really strong when you compact and push the trash down.

They are made from 100% recycled materials. Has a #4 recycle number on the bag.

These bags are soft and clear; not crinkly. You can tie them or seal with heat sealer on low for a few seconds.
