are these biodegradeable?

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.

I'm not sure, but don't deposit used ones at plastic bag disposal locations.

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

There was no specific information included about biodegradability, thus I do not believe they are.

Hi Gina: I would say they are recyclable, as they are made of a mesh material. Can't answer about they being biodegradable.

Yes, these are the only poop bags I have found that are truly labeled biodegradable. They are a nice size and hold together fairly well (long enough to tie them up, carry them, and throw them out).

Yes they are disposable. I am not sure of they are recyclable thou. I believe so.

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.

I see nothing on the box to indicate they are biodegradable. In checking their website www.muttmitt.com, they say they are designed to be degradable. I looked closely at the box and degradable is not even mentioned on it. There was no mention of the product being biodegradable.

Hi there ... sorry, no ... these are not flushable. They are compostable and bio-degradable.

These are actually biodegradable from what I understand. I don't know if the other brand is or not. It seems like the other brand only uses recycled materials for the box and inner tube.

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.

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!

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

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

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

These are durable like plastic bags, and they are UNLIKE icky compostable bags. Compostable bags are great for the compost heap but terrible for your garbage can! The great thing about these NON-COMPOSTABLE bags is that over time, such as in a couple years, in the landfill, they will BIODEGRADE. This is not the same as compostable. Compostable items degrade rather quickly, given the right warm and moist conditions. ESO NO ES BUENO in your garbage can!

These bags are oxo-biodegradable. The epi logo is another way of stating these bags are biodegradable. There's more information on their website: www.epi-global.comBecause of some state laws, biodegradable cannot be printed on the box unless the box is biodegradable as well.

Sure, just search amazon for earth rated waste bag and you will see their biodegradable bags
