Is this true, compostable cellophane or its synthetic "cello wrap" cousin?

It's cellophane. I'm using it to make gift baskets. It's better then the small basket bags. I'm not sure if it's compostable. I doubt it tho

So I've threw away the original packaging which would tell me precisely what it is, but I can tell you that it feels like a cotton-paper blend. After I have used these tea bags, I disposed them in my worm bin and so whatever it is, it's biodegradable.

I have a Garden Gourmet compost which looks exactly like this one. I don't if Garden Gourmet still exists but I've had it for 20 yrs (I have two). I live is southern Calif. Our city wanted people to compost so they had a special from a local nursery and I got two. Time has finally taken a toll on one of them so I am looking to replace it with this model. This past summer, a portion of the lower wall cracked so the door doesn't stay closed. The other compost has had no issues up this point, even after 20 yrs. There hasn't been any UV issues.

Synthetic. Be sure and give it a good flush before harvest. This is a really good product. PH perfect makes everything a breeze. Take much of the manual labor out of the equation.

No. It is just a container to store biodegradable waste like veggies and eggshells. It is not a composter.

I believe they are cellophane - exactly like the Wilton goody bags. They tie nicely with ribbon at the top.

It appears to be composting just fine. My bin is full from veggie scraps all winter and froze a little but appears to be heating up again. I plan to order another one so one can be filling as the other gets done. I expect the process will go quicker in the summer. I like these bins. Sturdy and simple. Mine also smells a little, which I thought was natural, but apparently my ratio between "green & brown" is off.

As far as I can tell it is styrofoam. I had forgotten about that idea. Thanks for the reminder.

My bottle was 'sealed' as well. When I looked closely I could see where someone had glued the cellophane to reseal. I was able to Remo e cellophane and replace to prove the point that to my wife. Very suspicious product.

To simple answer. They are the same thing. Back in the day Sebastian Inc. created a smoothing and shine line called LAMINATES. It branched of into a line of it's own including Cellophanes due to the shine factor. Since the product became obsolete, they renamed the Cellophanes to the current name. Sebastian Cellophanes use to come in a tall bottle, now it comes in a tube. They broke down the color line from 25 colors to a simpler form. Browns, Reds, Blondes and Clear. Hope this helps. BTW, if you mix a little reconstruction conditioner into the CLEAR it provides shine and seals the conditioner in the hair.

I checked with the manufacturer before I got mine at Home Depot. They said is it not bleach and is biodegradable. Worked great for me!

I just noticed that piece of what looks like Styrofoam but is not. I have been using the lamp with that piece material without any problems. It is not packing. To be sure you might want to call Verilux in Vermont.

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.

Frankzan, I just received my 650 from Costco. It was not wrapped in cellophane. There was a cardboard piece in the box that kept the unit from moving around.

I'm not sure. They came in a clear cello wrap. They worked great though and less waste

It smells really horrible! It would work but the smell is really going to bother you. I've had mine outside for months trying to air out the smell and it's not doing it. I bought this to wrap and tie brown paper packages and I am going back to the hemp cord/twine I had before. That would work really well for you actually. I am unsure of the ply. It appears more like garden tomato tying twine ply. Hope this helps!! TammyO

I believe they are real cellophane; however, I'm not sure what a polypropylene bag would feel like, so cannot state one way or the other with certainty.
