Are Tyvek Bags Biodegradable or Just Recyclable?

Tyvek bags are recyclable but not biodegradable. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Tyvek is a type of plastic that offers durability, water resistance, and tear resistance. While Tyvek is classified as a #2 recyclable material, it does not naturally decompose in the environment like cotton, jute, or paper.

Though not biodegradable, Tyvek bags are considered a more sustainable option than single-use plastic bags because they are reusable and recyclable. Specialized recycling programs—such as those supported by DuPont—accept Tyvek materials for conversion into new products.

When promoting your brand with custom Tyvek bags, it’s important to communicate both the eco-friendly aspects and the recycling guidance. This helps customers reuse their bags responsibly and supports your brand’s sustainability message.
