is the item biodegradeable?

no, it's not biodegradable. :( that is my only guilt---i try to offset my use of plastics in other ways. Since i have used biodegradable bags before, they are great but it does add up with costs.

I don't think so...it is super thin like the bio-degradables, but can't say for certain, which probably means no.

When I bought these bags before it said they were. Sorry,I don't recall in the packaging this time if it said that they were.

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!

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.

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.

Yes but not too bad....my wife will never go back to a plastic tray that you have to clean out. She like to use this biodegradable option.

I don't believe they are biodegradable. And yes you can just plant it in the ground.

Yes, the bio degradable bags are sold on amazon, fit the can. We've had this compost can for awhile now and it works great. High quality, no rust, looks good too.

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

The bags are biodegradable but the box doesnt say anything about CA standards.

I don't know if the product is made of recycled materials. The product is recyclable.

They are zinc plated steel, so my guess would be not for many, many years. It does not say biodegradable on package nor show a biodegradable symbol.

Nowhere on the package does it indicate that these bags are biodegradable. If they were, they would certainly advertise it as such. Compostable bags are considerably more expensive because they are not made from plastic. If you want compostable bags, search with that specific term.

I could not find anywhere on the box where it said. It does say bags, strings, and tags are biodegradable. Can you tell by looking at the bag? It's not pure white. I would guess not bleached.

These are durable like plastic bags, and they are UNLIKE icky compostable bags. Compostable bags are great for the compost heap but terrible for your garbage can! The great thing about these NON-COMPOSTABLE bags is that over time, such as in a couple years, in the landfill, they will BIODEGRADE. This is not the same as compostable. Compostable items degrade rather quickly, given the right warm and moist conditions. ESO NO ES BUENO in your garbage can!

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.

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.
