As a bioplastic, true cellophane is 100% biodegradable and compostable, even in your home compost bin. The time it takes to break down will vary depending on whether it’s coated or not. Uncoated cellulose film takes less than a month to degrade when buried, and if coated with nitrocellulose it will degrade in approximately two to 3 months.

However, it is important to be aware of any extra ingredients or coatings that can be added to cellophane, such as polyethylene which is petroleum based, to improve durability, water resistance, and allow the cellophane to be heat-sealed. Other additives may be biodegradable, but not compostable.
