I can remember my mum using it when I was a kid, and certainly recall it degrading in the cupboard (to sticky green powder IIRC?); however not sure about the 'bio-' part. Probably not at a guess, as these things didn't "matter" in those days. David |

Features and Benefits: Strong base that will start to degrade one month after coming into contact with water" From that I'd deduce that all their other products are NOT biodegradable... And now I know where to go next time I want a 'biodegradeable ring'. Hmm. David |
