If the bags are collected they can be recycled, but if they get into the environment they will self-destruct in a short time, leaving no fragments or harmful residues.

Remember though that the bags would need to be OXO-biodegradable because they cost no more than ordinary bags, and the ones made from crops cannot be recycled.
