If it's paper it's biodegradable.

They would, but most of them are not 100% paper and contain something
which has synthetic material for sturdiness. It's best to have a
reuseable filter and keep a small bucket under the sink. When there
are enough grinds, take them out and dig them in where a plant looks
chlorotic as the grinds are nitrogen containing and worms love them,
bringing their amazing ability to loosen soil and leave castings.
