Is this biodegradable

I think to answer your question more fully...bromine is what they use in hot tubs because it is easier on the skin and has less odor than chlorine. I believe that it simply chemically breaks down into other compounds and dissipates, but you'd have to do further research and be a chemist to fully understand. Hope this helps.

I have no idea. It's basically the same chlorine, &ct. you put in pools mixed with a little Oxyclean. I find the tablets rather expensive, so I now go out and get bromine tablets from the pool supply people at 10th the price and have almost no odor and work just as well. I believe that the contents of either tablet simply dissipate into the atmosphere, the same way that chemicals in a swimming pool would, for good or bad...your decision. However the two tablets you put into the dispenser lasts me about 3 months and weighs about 2 ounces. Don't believe that has any serious consequences, but that's up to you. I would use far more than that in household cleaners over that same period.

The active chemicals in the product are not organic and thus would not fit the definition of bio-degradable in my opinion. The product does break down to nonreactive byproducts that are bound to the carbon atoms in the materials that are cleaned away from the toilet. Some small amount of carbon dioxide will be released as will be the case with any effective cleaner. A small amount of boron gas will evaporate during the time when no organic material is available to be broken down. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst for the environment I would rank this product 2. Disclaimer: I am not a chemist.

Similar to k-cups (polyester, I think), it is the ONLY piece of the OneCup not yet biodegradable...the lid and ring are biodegradable. The mesh will be as well, eventually.

I can tell you only this and hopefully it helps you. It is biodegradable. The company is Siera Dawn Products PO Box 513 Graton CA 95444. (www.campsuds.com) It is a blend of purified water, vegetable based biodegradable anionic and non anionic cleaning agents, and natural fraggrance oils.

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.

I believe they claim they are biodegradable. However, many customers claim they are not, and had problems requiring plumbers who said they are not.

They are biodegradable but state "they are not designed to be disposed with food wastes for composting purposes"

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.

Have not used it for that, but i don't see why not. It is very sturdy, seems waterproof, and would retain the heat (it retains the cold). It is made of a strong paper, with glazed finish. Probably biodegradable.

Biodegradable, yes. Flushable, don't know really. I simply dispose it off in the trash.

All the ingredients listed--coconut oil, olive oil, etc. appear to be biodegradable. The one ingredient that gave me pause was sodium hydroxcide (lye). But after a little bit of online research, I learned that this ingredient is necessary to make soap, and that it is biodegradable. I like the shampoo, just a little bit foams up and goes a long way.

They are not biodegradable or flushable, unfortunately... don't think they're compostable but I don't know much about composting...

Per my phone call with Kora Brand, the plastic package is a biodegradable plastic. They are researching better options. The center core is standard (though thick) cardboard and they are also looking to change that to bamboo or another more earth friendly option in the future.

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).

These are actually biodegradable from what I understand. I don't know if the other brand is or not. It seems like the other brand only uses recycled materials for the box and inner tube.

No they are not. Just include the word biodegradable in your search there are plenty on Amazon.

I don't think so. I found them all summer while mowing the lawn. If they are then the breakdown time is long. Good question, never thought to ask it myself but a biodegradable should be made for these pellets.

I am not sure what you mean by biodegradable? They break down when I put them in my compost pile, so I would consider them so......
