Question 1

Is this biodegradable?

Accepted Answer

Good question -- and one that I share. || Since the manufacturer of this Plastimade-brand item has neither posted an answer for you about this item's biodegradable status, nor added to this item's product page a close-up photo of the item's packaging that includes a statement of the item's composition that we could use to do our own research into the item's biodegradability (i.e. other than 'plastic,' which hardly inspires confidence about the item's green bona fides), I poked around here at Amazon and found that there *is* a comparable product that is allegedly biodegradable. (I haven't tried it yet, but I'm holding it in the 'Saved for Later' section of my Amazon shopping cart.) || That product, OutFormal's "Disposable Plastic Cutting Board" -- which is often sold out/"Currently Unavailable" -- states that it is both BPA-free and made from biodegradable EVA (i.e. a "copolymer of ethylene and vinyl"). || IIRC, online environmental publication _TreeHugger_ posted a feature a few years back sharing their own research conclusion that EVA is, indeed, biodegradable in landfills -- although we consumers should of course both (a) reduce our use of EVA and (b) re-use any EVA products we might buy as many times as possible before tossing them. (e.g. Individual disposable cutting board sheets made of EVA can be washed, disinfected, and re-used multiple times before being sent to The Great Landfill in the Sky.) || In other words, absent clear data about this Plastimade item's biodegradable status or even its mere composition, we have at least one other option here at Amazon that is a bit more transparent (see what I did there?).|| I hope this helps! ||

Question 2

Can this be used it the microwave to cover bowls and prevent splatter? If not, is there another item (with tiny vents) for this purpose?

Accepted Answer

I would not use this item for microwave.  Instead use link below.. Its much better option.  We use the cover and works great.

Question 3

What country is this manufactured in?

Accepted Answer

Many Americans are interested in country of production because we are tired of poor quality, China produced products invading our American high quality products. Many other reasons too (communism, trade practices, oppression, jobs, and now corona virus amongst many other problems)
