Is the material biodegradable ?

I do not think so. It is not marketed as biodegradable, I even went to the manufacturer's website and no mention of it being biodegradable.

No. Plastic is not biodegradable. Anyone who says otherwise is stretching the truth, at best, or lying. Some thin, light plastics will decay quickly but that just turns them into tiny pieces of non-degradable plastic. In lakes and oceans this is an increasing problem. There are plastic substitutes that are biodegradable such as some food packaging. I find these to be very good poop bags and I use them only away from home. Near home or in my yard, I use a pooper scooper and dispose without a bag.

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 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 believe they claim they are biodegradable. However, many customers claim they are not, and had problems requiring plumbers who said they are not.

The paper is bio degradable but it did have a wire that held the wax. You may have to call the company directly to find out.

Per my phone call with Kora Brand, the plastic package is a biodegradable plastic. They are researching better options. The center core is standard (though thick) cardboard and they are also looking to change that to bamboo or another more earth friendly option in the future.

I am sure it is to some degree it is biodgradable. I am a Biochemist and the nature of Soap is to decrease surface tension and therefore allow things like Bacteria in the soil to use the soap as a carbon source. I don't believe it is toxic in anyway. There is not a details analysis of what is in the soap so I can't say for sure.

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.

I really don't know anything about them being biodegradable. However, I do think they are.

The product does not claim to be compostable or biodegradable it only states easier on the earth than other products you may be using.

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

It is the reason I looked into and purchased them. The national brand of zip-type top bags claim their bags are biodegradable, but I felt paper bags would be more so; so, I tried them.

Yes it is. Also bio balls which are small plastic balls that create a surface for good bacteria to grow. Plastic scouring pads work too.

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...

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 do not know.I like the material. Being made from organic material it would seem possible.

Yes you can. We use both White Flyer (Walmart) and Champion clays, they are both biodegradable. Works like a charm. The last clay in the stack doesn't normally feed right, we just either add more clays or if we are done remove it. Good luck!
