Norpro 85 Review by cunada23 (Check the Facts, USA)

I very very very rarely use all caps, but this product is presented in a way that is seriously misleading for the average, well-meaning consumer.
I'm plenty educated and absolutely well-meaning, and nearly bought these before noticing the use of "degradable" instead of "bio-degradable," which is what I was looking for.

Degradable IS NOT bio-degradable and should NOT be used for actual compost!

Don't put these in your yard waste or compost bins, whether your own in your yard or for pickup by your waste management service folks (I confirmed this with our waste management company).

Norpro 85 Review by maria

Some of the more recent reviews clarify the problems I've been having with these bags. I had assumed that they would degrade in my compost. But not so! That's a real shame, because a compost-able bag would be much more practical. I guess I'll be fishing some un-degraded bags out of my compost shortly.

The up side to these bags is that they are sturdy and that they are a perfect fit for the counter-top compost pail. The down side is that I guess they're intended to be thrown in the trash.

Norpro 85 Review by H. Whitmarsh

This is a Degradable bag, not a BIO-degradable bag. That means that it breaks down into tiny chemical residue that you can not see but are still there. Similar products (Lawn bags from the 90's) were found to poison fish and wild life, the chemicals were also found to work there way up the food chain. If you are like many people and use your compost dirt to grow fruit and vegetables that you later feed you family, you will almost certainly be getting some of that residue into your body and that of your family, the long term effects of which are not know.
