They say "biodegradable"--can they be composted?

Yes, the Skoy Cloths are compostable. They are made of wood-pulp cellulose and cotton with non-toxic ink for the prints.

I looked at the box and there was nothing on it as to material used. But the filter it self is a very thin paper which tears pretty easily after use and is limp and stained thoroughly after use. I would say they can be composted.

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.

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

I don't believe they are biodegradable. And yes you can just plant it in the ground.

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 =)

Hello, Our OneCup Pods are over 97% biodegradable. By simply throwing them away the will completely degrade in the landfill within a year, with the exception of the mesh filter. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at: service@rogersfamilyco.comWe hope you enjoy!

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.

They are zinc plated steel, so my guess would be not for many, many years. It does not say biodegradable on package nor show a biodegradable symbol.

No, the pod is thrown away after one use, but is 97% biodegradable, unlike most.

All I can tell you is in the product description it states: Complies with FDA Reg. 177.1520. Do you mean bio degradable? Or do you mean can you wear them more than once? I only use "once" and for handling meat products. Hope this helps.

No. Very few on the market are. Some of the ones that claimed they were changed their claim after it was pointed out that they did not meet the definition of biodegradable used in CA.

I checked the box and there was no mention of it being biodegradable. You can check their web site. www.MuttMitt.com

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.

They do break down in the elements over a long period of time. I reuse them as bases to plant pots to prevent water from damaging floors or shelves. They eventually become cracked and thinner outdoors. I would not say they are formally compostable. I just have peace of mind that they eventually break down in the garbage over time.

Yes they are bio-degradeable. You just need to remember how they work, they rise because of the hot air in them so they work best in the cool of the evening. They are fun to watch and can be great for special occassions. Kids should be supervised if you are letting them participate, the heat source is very hot.
