Are these compostable?

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.

I'm pretty sure you could use the grounds in a compost. Try burying a used pod in a little soil and see what happens. The paper doesn't seem coated, so I'm sure it would degrade. My City wouldn't take them with normal recycling, unless all the grounds were removed first.

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, they are reusable. I don't know how they'd hold up for long term heavy usage but with care they should last quite awhile.

Yes they are disposable. I am not sure of they are recyclable thou. I believe so.

I don't see why they couldn't be put in the recycle bin. I pit mine in recycle and they've always been accepted.

I do not believe they are biodegradable. They are strong and I have never had one break when using it. Sometimes you have to compromise.

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.

From http://www.ifyoucare.com/less-waste:"The packaging of every product is made from unbleached and whenever possible, recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again. The coffee filters, parchment paper, baking cups, waxed paper and sandwich bags are 100% biodegradable and should be composted. The aluminum foil is made from recycled aluminum and can be recycled again."So, to answer your question, yes. And thank you for caring =)

Hi Brenda, Yes you can, but each half storage area is only a few shovels of compost. They do work very well we have taken several batches out since last summer. Hope this is of help.

No, they are a once-and-toss product. Personally I wouldn't buy them again b/c I don't think they worked AT ALL in the capacity they were advertised for & which I bought them for (diaper pail). The fact that they aren't recycle-able isn't so nice either.

they most definitely will not compost in this. unless you create the worlds smallest compost bin with this :)this is meant for keeping them in your kitchen/house until you can transfer them to something bigger.

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.

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.

They should be, will use them for fishing. But they would be good for Gardens composting and or fishing.

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.

Yes they are. You can replace them with your own bins or use the open space for something else.
