Green N Pack 200 Dog Waste Bag, Dog Poop Bags (Easy Pull & Easy Tear)

Not biodegradable in the state of CA, so not good for environment!
I am very careful in trying to buy the right poo bag to minimize my impact on the environment. Having bought other products at a great price just to find out that they are not truly decompostable, I now take extra time to research each product. I looked at the website for this seller and here's what I found:

California Disclaimer: We do not make any claims regarding our bags in terms of "biodegradable" or "degradable" or "decompostable" or in any way imply that the bags will break down in a landfill to any customer in the State of California. California has a specific ASTM6400 Standard for plastic bags.

It seems to me that BioBag is still the only way to go. It is more expensive, but still way cheaper on amazon than buying it in the store and the quality is very good.

I don't like to be misled as a consumer and I shouldn't have to go Green N Pack website in order to find the right information. I wish Amazon would post correct product description...
Does the job well, at a reasonable price
We raise guide dog puppies, and have a pet Lab of our own. With two dogs around the house most of the time, effective waste clean-up is a priority. We've tried recycling plastic shopping bags (too large, and they often have holes in them), and purchasing special-purpose dog waste bags from the local pet store (varying quality, not biodegradable, and kind of pricey). The best option we had found so far was dog waste bags from Ikea, which were reasonably priced ($1.99 for 50), but not biodegradable. Unfortunately, Ikea has discontinued the product, so we were back to looking for an acceptable solution. After looking at some of the alternatives (flushable bags, in particular), we decided to try these bags from Green Stuff Only.

Firstly, the price is hard to beat. If you look around, you'll see that it's hard to find bags for much under $.04 a bag. $5.99 for 200 is a very good price, and preferable to ordering thousands of bags to get a comparable price. Secondly, the...
Oxo Biodegradable
Having read some of the other reviews here, I thought it important to discuss the nature of the plastic that these bags are made from. They are not biodegradable in the usual sense of the term, nor do they claim to be. They are, however, oxo biodegradable, and that's good enough for me. Oxo biodegradable plastic is polyolefin plastic with metal salts added to it. These salts speed up the natural degradation process, allowing the plastic to degrade into microfragments of plastic and metals that will remain in the environment, but in fragments that cannot be seen, shortening the degradation process from hundreds of years to a year or so, which approximates the amount of time that it takes for organic material to compost. Following that, biodegradation will continue to break the material down according to the micro-organisms in the environment. Oxo plastics will not degrade well in a landfill because the levels of oxygen are generally too low, but they will degrade rapidly in a compost...
