They are not biodegradable or flushable, unfortunately... don't think they're compostable but I don't know much about composting...

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.

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. Answer from a person who tries to stay green, but uses this product on a regular basis.

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 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 do not know enough about the product to know if it is biodegradable, but it is mineral based, not a chemical sunscreen. You would have to contact the manufacturer.

Hi, Earth Rated is just the manfacturer's trademarked name. But here is the "poop" on the biodegradable question, copied from their website: "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." -Jon

These bags are NOT compostable or biodegradable! Earth friendly they are not either as they use a chemical to break the plastic down faster...From the company: "Our bags are are neither. We plan to have a 100% compostable line in the next couple of months so check back with us."

My daughter wrote, "Tell them its like orbeez but it says its enviornmentally friendly. Biodegradable. You soak the little pellets in water and they inflate into little orbs."

Hi, The sides of the package don't display information about the biodegradability, just that they are 'extra long, extra strong, and lavender scented'. If you go to the manufacturer's website, however, you can find out that the core of each roll is made from recycled materials (as is the packaging) and the bag is a corn-based, all natural, compostable product. See more at http://www.earthrated.com/about/. Thanks.

After reading article last year, I don't believe these are biodegradable, just flushable (like it says).

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 don't see why not. I just pulled one out of my box and gently pulled on it and it was very easy to tear, therefore, it should compost pretty easily.

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.com We hope you enjoy!

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.

Yes! There are more coffee grounds in my compost than anything else. I do line the pail with the biodegradable bags.
