Since I originally wrote this post over 2 years ago, I've learned more about all of the complexities about what can and cannot be labeled "fair trade", but I still don't know all there is to know, by far! I was just going by what the company promotes itself as - although I know that the "fair trade" terminology often gets tossed around, whether accidentally or on purpose, when it isn't totally accurate according to the rigorous certification standards. I wish I knew more about this specific instance, but I guess that's something that would have to be taken up with the company. Phillip – good question!

Anita, if something is made from 100% all natural latex rubber, which comes from rubber trees, then it should be biodegradable by definition, right?
