Good question, cariann! I would also like to know if the bio-degradable material is made from corn or a corn derivative OR ALSO COTTON.

I believe the manufacturer states that on their packaging. The paper globe is bio-degradable; I would assume the fine wire collar is eventually bio-degradable. Read the package specifications on the description of their product stated on Amazon.

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.

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

I can find NO information "specifically" relative to your question, however, it is "Earth Friendly" and "Environmentally Responsible." It is also "Biodegradable", "Non-Toxic" and contains no chlorine but I can find no information about the use or treatment of animals during formulation or production. I am sorry I cannot be of further help in answering your question

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.

The only ingredient is physically modified maize starch. Assuming they're using non-GMO corn as they state, the ingredients list doesn't dispute their claim (physical modification is different than genetic modification).

It's made from corn flour and a few other (non wheat) ingredients. However, the label says "May contain traces of wheat, corn, or oats."

The fabric is 100% polyester, a synthetic polymer. From wikipedia "Synthetic fibers (such as polyester) also can create materials with superior water, wind and environmental resistance compared to plant-derived fibers, and are sometimes renamed so as to suggest their similarity or even superiority to natural fibers". While no material will be indestructible in sunny southern California forever, this material will hold up better compared to most other materials.

The material is our ecoFLEX® Composite made from recycled polymers and reclaimed wood fibers. It is 100% non-toxic and will not harm any animals that come in contact with it or happen to chew on it or even ingest any particles.We have an independent outside lab report to support this claim if you'd like it. If so please email us at cs at clickhere2shop dot com. Thank you, and let us know if you have further questions.

No mention of that in description. Am not sure. Cannot answer. U should probably contact manufacturer. They do not say they are biodegradable in any of the descriptions.

I have no idea. It sounds like it is not made from recycled material. Try googling it.

I have checked the packaging and the bag and can find nothing about being biodegradable. I was under that impression from another reviewer I guess, but nothing is said to bear that out.

It says 100% Xylitol. Most are made with Non-GMO corn, but I may have to rethink getting raw material from China. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Organic?!?! You've got to be kidding. The soft parts are cloth of some sort, and the hard bits are plastic, except for one wooden ring. I don't see how there could be anything organic about it.

It may not be. It says it contains corn. If the source is corn, the form is likely Inositol Hexaphosphate which we can't digest. Worse, it binds zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium, making them unavailable as well.

Yes, They Do Describe Them As Biodegradable Besides Being Made From recycled Material. They Decompose Within A 12 To 18 Month Period Supposedly.I Love Them, Smell Good To Help Hide The Odor And Are Plenty Big Enough Also.
