The CompostBag bags made from Mater-Bi® are non-toxic (the LD50 - oral, rat - for a typical Mater-Bi® foil is> 2000mg / kg body weight). Given their origin, we can assume that they are well tolerated by the animal digestive system and are removed without negative consequences. Studies on dogs, cows and mice confirm this [...]
