Are these biodegradable?

Probably not biodegradable. At least I can't see that promoted on the packaging. I stopped using them as a table cover since a toddler is fascinated with taking them off. They really don't stick very well. They might work better for an older child but by then they are eating on a plate. I've been using mine for a disposable changing table covers for public restrooms. I might have to try the Green Sprouts one that c Becker recommends.

I don't believe som I don't recall seeing any that advertise it. If you want something you can take with you and reuse, I recommend the green sprouts rectangular placemat with lip.

From the instruction insert: These disposable Table Topper placemats, and the zip-close bag containing them, are made with a revolutionary new additive that enables them to fully bio-degrade in as little as 9 months to 5 years!" and that "the plastic simply degrades into an inert "humus" that is actually beneficial to the environment and conductive to plant growth So I would take that as a yes :)

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.comWe hope you enjoy!

No. You use the pods just like a regular k-cup and throw them away afterwards. They are supposed to be biodegradable for the environment.

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 think it's another way of stating biodegradable. I believe some states have regulations on printing biodegradable on the packaging so they use EPI certified in place. If you look up www.epi-global.com there is more info there. Hope that helps!

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

There was no specific information included about biodegradability, thus I do not believe 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.

Yes they are bio-degradeable. You just need to remember how they work, they rise because of the hot air in them so they work best in the cool of the evening. They are fun to watch and can be great for special occassions. Kids should be supervised if you are letting them participate, the heat source is very hot.

Sure, if you want to wait 1000 years. They are made of steel with a zinc coating, so no, not biodegradeable

Hi there ... sorry, no ... these are not flushable. They are compostable and bio-degradable.

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!

You got me curious enough that I went and checked the end label. "Biodegradable", and New Rochelle, New York are printed on it but nothing relative to your question.

Of course not, they're organic which it's 100% GMO free or non GMO. Contact the seller for further inquiries.

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.

These bags are NOT compostable or biodegradable! Earth friendly they are not either as they use a chemical to break the plastic down faster...From the company: "Our bags are are neither. We plan to have a 100% compostable line in the next couple of months so check back with us."

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