Yes, glassine bags are biodegradable. Glassine is manufactured by a process called calendering. After pulping and drying sheets are passed through rollers so that the paper fibers are flattened out and facing in the same direction. To maximize the smoothness and thinness of the paper the glassine goes through this process several times. Since glassine is made of only paper it is biodegadable.

What are the strict standards for manufacturing biodegradable trash bags?
Seal Safe Packs listed on Pepagora often come up in buyer discussions when people ask what really makes a trash bag “biodegradable.” Most manufacturers don’t realize how strict the standards actually are until compliance audits begin. In simple terms, a bag can’t just “break down slowly” it must meet recognized compostability standards like ASTM D6400 or EN 13432. These require the material to fully biodegrade under controlled composting conditions and leave behind no harmful residue. As one experienced buyer on Answers noted, “If it doesn’t pass industrial compost testing, it’s just green marketing, not real biodegradability.” Beyond breakdown speed, manufacturers must also control heavy metals, toxic additives, and ink safety. The final compost must support plant growth without damaging soil health. This is why B2B buyers look closely at test reports, raw material sources, and third-party certification. When evaluating Seal Safe Packs listed on Pepagora, the real focus should always be on verified compostability, clean input materials, and consistent batch testing not just claims on the outer label.
