"The following table should be read with the above comments in mind, and care should be taken before accepting claims of biodegradability in view of the (dubious) claims being made. This is how long it takes for some commonly used products to biodegrade:
Cotton rags, 1-5 months
Paper, 2-5 months
Rope, 3-14 months
Orange peels, 6 months
Wool socks, 1 to 5 years
Cigarette filters, 1 to 12 years
Tetrapaks, (plastics composite) milk cartons, 5 years
Leather shoes, 25 to 40 years
Nylon fabric, 30 to 40 years
Plastic bags, 10-20 years
Plastic 6-pack holder rings, 450 years
Styrofoam cup,1-100 years

Okay - I agree! Ups, no I disagree! "Whatever"! I can definately say this: "biodegradable bags" are, without a doubt, "biodegradable"!!!!!!
Oh, maybe you're asking whether they should be used or not!!!! I feel, definately that they should be used - we should be good to our planet - cause, whether you believe this, or not, right now - we don't have anywhere else to go!!!!!!

It must be difficult to do, because I have watched a programme and it showed how bits of plastic never degrade, there are tiny particles found in sand. What an awful thought. Makes you think doesn't it.
