Scoopies dog poop bags are not biodegradable. Only those plastics that meet the ASTM 6400-99 specification can really claim to be biodegradable. Scoopies call their product OXO-biodegradable...states like California do not recognize this as biodegradation and prohibit companies, such as Scoopies, from labelling their products as such.
It is unfortunate that consumers are being mislead. The Biodegradable Products Institute has a great deal of information on what actually constitutes biodegradability. see: www.bpiworld.org
