You'd be surprised how paper-like the plastic bags appear to be.

Could try burning a tiny piece and check how it behaves and smells.

I doubt the advice would be to throw them in the organic waste if it was plastic.

Some plastics can go in the organic waste bins, such as the organic waste bin bags.
