How is it biodegradable if it's also made from recycled plastics?

That's a great question. We're the first company in America to blend both recycled and oxo bio degradable additives to make our Eco Mattress Protective cover. We take recycled films and shrink wrapped commonly found wrapping pallets of goods shipped to large super markets and retail centers and clean, polish and then chop and reform this into the base of the eco mattress bag. Then we add a non toxic oxo bio component and form the bag. Yesterday, we won the Sustainable Business Council of Los Angeles green product and business of the year with our innovate and eco friendly solution to protecting your mattress! Thanks for a great question! Spence Brown, Founder and Chief Tree Hugger, Rent a Green Box and Eco Mattress Bags!

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 think so, but to be honest, I really dont know what parameters works with the biodegradable materials.

The product is reclaimed wood pulp and I compost discarded litter, so yes, it's biodegradable. I don't know about flushing it. You don't want to have plumbing issues! The company phone number for questions is 360-734-7415, or go to carefresh.com.

Since it's a combination of plastic and carbon, I don't think so, but given the number of plastic bottless it has saved, it's still a very green product, if this is what concerns you.

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

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.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

I'm not sure, but my best guess is that it uses a high percentage of post-consumer materials (aka, recycled plastics and possibly metals).

Not quite sure what your asking since unless it's recycled, plastic isn't green to me. So I'm going to have to go with no.

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.

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.

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

The product does not claim to be compostable or biodegradable it only states easier on the earth than other products you may be using.

Yes, look for the Safe for septic tank logo on Ecover product to check for septic tank safety. All of their products are completely biodegradable. :)

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

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