Are these bags biodegrable? I don't see any thing that says they are.

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.

These meet Canadian standards, but not necessarily American. From the manufacturer's site: "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 alternative to plastic bags" Bummer. At least they do offer a truly biodegradable and compostable bag, although I don't see it available on Amazon...

Yes. The box specifically states that these bags will decompose in a landfill in less than 24 months. I will definitely buy them again!

It is the reason I looked into and purchased them. The national brand of zip-type top bags claim their bags are biodegradable, but I felt paper bags would be more so; so, I tried them.

They are genuine bag for my vacuum. I have ordered many times and have no problem at all. I took my original bag info to get them.

Hi Gina: I would say they are recyclable, as they are made of a mesh material. Can't answer about they being biodegradable.

Yes....as opposed to BioBags which are .8 mil thickness, these are 1.0 which makes a big difference in how long you can go without it leaking or tearing.

Currenty they are stored and not available for me look at the package but I believe they are raw. Sorry that I'm can't more helpful but maybe you can order one bag and see for yourself. ???

My bag was resealable. I store them with the rest of my gardening supplies and I still have a few left after buying them a couple years ago. Just let them soak in water a while and they're good as the day you bought them.

I would not recommend it because they are reusable, and they are thicker than other brands. I absolutely love the product and the bags.

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.

Eco friendly means they are biodegradable. The bags will eventually dissolve in a landfill.

No they are not. You zip them up and dispose of them. They are a durable plastic.

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.

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.
