According to the FTC's Green Guides, products labeled as 'biodegradable' should display information about the disposal protocol that would allow the product or packaging to degrade in the manner claimed.
Here's how your 'biodegradable' poop bags may be deceiving you.

It’s really frustrating when consumers are essentially being told they’re the ones responsible for fixing a problem that was created by these big corporations in the first place...
I would love to see companies lying about things be taken down. Not just fined but taken down completely.
I’ve always suspected those were a lie, they were too cheap
The term "biodegradable" marked on plastic bags is often misleading and poorly regulated by law. The bag must really be labeled as suitable for home composting.
For instance, in the EU, the European Standard EN 134323 refers to compostability in industrial composting facilities (high temperature, etc.) but there is no EU standard for domestic composting. There is a label "OK compost HOME", and some countries have adopted their own standard, but it is difficult to find a "bioplastic" bag that is truly compostable.
Ijust use old newspapers and then cover it with another newspaper before binning it.. idk if that's sanitary
And people ask me why I have trust issues...
I washed one in a washing machine ( not on purpose) it came out thin and brittle, fel in pieces when I tried to open it, and I took it as a good sign. Now after seeing this I don't know :(
The bags I have for the dog and our food waste do say "biodegradable in municipal compost facilities". I take that to mean they require a high temperature and possibly mechanical shredding to speed up the process.
The video is an odd dimension. The text doesn't display correctly on RUclips
All of their videos are like this. It's because it's made for social media not RUclips
@@Happy_Shopper yt is social media
@@SR0144 you gonna message the RUclips group chat or something?
The box you showed is the brand I use. I don't see an ASTM D6400 on it. But the box says ASTM D6495-04. Hey Google!
I just use junk mail. Paper is so much more biodegradable than any plastic, isn't it? And, so much junk mail deserves to be wrapped around dog mess. Oh, and it's free.
Thanks for the scoop. 💩
Banning the sale of biodegradable bags unless claims are shown with scientific evidence? What a radical thought. I figured biodegradable bags was bs.
Even if they’re made sustainable, I throw them in regular garbage. Ugh.
This might be out of topic but I have a locally made cassava plastic bag (approximately 3 USD for 50 pcs) that I bought a year ago that I stored in a cupboard. Just yesterday I need one because my mom wanted to give some avocado to a neighbor and the avocados fell to the floor because the bag is biodegrarable and suddenly crumbled into tiny pieces under the weight of the avocados after being stored for so long 🤣
Paper bags = biodegradable bags
also wrong ...do the experiment take a paper bag and burry it in the yard.
Dude after years and years wood in a cofin will not degrade
A HUMAN Body under ground takes a decade :)
The fastest most natural way is to leave the S**** on the green field and let mother nature take its coures??
you see dear wolfes carying bags ?
It was a scam from a plastic industry like the plastic bottle trash cans ... lol non of it is Biodegradable and cant be recicles.
It shouldnt be a surprise its plastic
In the end everything is biodegradable.
Some things a bit quicker than others....
Aren't you supposed to throw em in the trash anyways.
All trash ends up in the same spot ... all this recycling is a scam .
