are they biodegradable?

Hi Faith- California has passed new regulations on what can and cannot be listed as biodegradable, so we have decided to remove all mentions of it on our website, and will no longer make the claim, to be on the safe side of things. Because of how landfills work, by tightly compacting the trash, all oxygen is essentially squeezed out of the trash pile and it is covered with another layer of trash. This robs the trash of oxygen and sunlight that is essential for biological and ecological functions like decomposition. In California something that is listed biodegradable must be able to decompose in that type of environment, which without sunlight or oxygen is very difficult to achieve.

These meet Canadian standards, but not necessarily American. From the manufacturer's site: "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 alternative to plastic bags"Bummer. At least they do offer a truly biodegradable and compostable bag, although I don't see it available on Amazon...

Nowhere on the package does it indicate that these bags are biodegradable. If they were, they would certainly advertise it as such. Compostable bags are considerably more expensive because they are not made from plastic. If you want compostable bags, search with that specific term.

Although they are made from basalt rock, they do not biodegrade. You can plant them in ground, just be sure to water them consistently and thoroughly until the roots establish themselves in the soil.

No they are not. Just include the word biodegradable in your search there are plenty on Amazon.

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.

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.

Eco friendly means they are biodegradable. The bags will eventually dissolve in a landfill.

Yes, look for the Safe for septic tank logo on Ecover product to check for septic tank safety. All of their products are completely biodegradable. :)

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.

Yes, these are biodegradable. They are a little longer and skinnier than maybe some other doggie bags.

I bought these for that purpose but honestly they don't appear to be biodegradable. They seem exactly like those blue ones I used to get except that they are pink. Perhaps they are and they just don't say it on the product box (or bag). I was just going off the description of the product but didn't see it anywhere on the product itself.

No mention of that in description. Am not sure. Cannot answer. U should probably contact manufacturer. They do not say they are biodegradable in any of the descriptions.

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