Are these bags biodegradable?

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 package says "Did you know? Our eco-friendly bags degrade in as little as 24 months"

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

After use, does the lid fit tight enough to control odor? Is there such a thing as biodegradable bags?

They have been around for many years. I got on to them at the local dog park and then sent for them via mail. They are biodegradable and so easy to use.

On the box (packaging) it says that the bags "dissolve in as little as 24 months!" which means that they are biodegradable, and break down pretty quickly. Hope that helps. :-)

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

I'm not sure. We bought them for use at our cabin in the mountains to protect wildlife and haven't used them yet. I'll check the package next time I go up there. We have biodegradable dog poop bags and they're made out of corn. I believe in it.

I don't know. I bought and use the bags--I am not the seller. You need to ask the seller. I will tell you they are very thin and very tough, Sorry, Rich

Don't know. I tossed the bag a while ago (because I freeze them until used). Sorry.

There is nothing on the bag these are packed in which would indicate whether or not the material contains BPA's. The material is basically reinforced plastic, akin to a plastic tarp you would by at the hardware store.

Hi ChenXi,Yes, they are. Our bags are made with food grade nylon. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please let us know.

The bags are reusable and do not need to be replaced. They are machine washable and very durable.

According to The Label on the Bag It has a 04 LD PE or Low Density Polyethylene which is NOT Bio Degradable ...

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

No -- they are silica crystals, which are not soluble or biodegradable. You'd be asking for a plugged-toilet problem. ...Steve N.

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

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