As I understand it even the 'paper' teabags contain plastic which is why they shouldn't ever be disposed with any organics waste (and possibly raise similar health concerns due to being immersed in boiling water before being ingested). A quick search reveals an article[1] stating: > Most bags, including those made by the five leading tea brands in the UK – PG Tips, Tetley, Twinings, Typhoo, and Yorkshire Tea – use non-biodegradable polypropylene as sealants in their bags.

It’s a component of the material that allows us to heat seal the bag.” [1] https://resource.co/article/should-you-put-tea-bags-your-food-waste-bin-12372 https://resource.co/article/should-you-put-tea-bags-your-foo...
